Eastview, TN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

High
64thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Eastview at the 64th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 565 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Eastview at the 67th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

How Eastview compares

Eastview's risk sits at a similar level relative to Tennessee (56th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (64th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eastview ranks 11,258 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,332 by building count (1 is largest). Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 219 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

Eastview's high rating (64th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.

What would actually reduce this score

With 95.6% of Eastview in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
