Eastville, VA
Eastville, VA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Eastville sits at the 45th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 231 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Eastville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 43rd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Eastville: 58.9% of its 231 buildings, versus 40.7% Indirect and 0.4% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Eastville compares
There's little gap between Eastville's 45th national percentile and its 42nd percentile inside Virginia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eastville ranks 17,505 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,777 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 394 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
Eastville and the insurance market
Eastville's elevated rating (45th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Eastville's 58.9% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
