Edge Hill, GA
Edge Hill wildfire risk explained
Edge Hill sits at the 67th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 34 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Edge Hill at the 67th percentile, close to its 67th-percentile risk score.
Edge Hill's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Edge Hill's 34 counted buildings, 67.7% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Edge Hill against the rest of the country
Edge Hill scores 67th nationally and 53rd within Georgia — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edge Hill ranks 10,457 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,289 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 316 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 67th percentile nationally, Edge Hill carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Edge Hill's 67.7% 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.
More on how this number was built
Edge Hill's 67th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Edge Hill, see the exposure-zones guide.
