Dukedom, TN
Dukedom, TN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Dukedom sits at the 28th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 125 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Dukedom's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 29th percentile nationally.

USFS classifies 97.6% of Dukedom's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 2.4% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 122 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
