Edinburg, VA
Edinburg, VA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Edinburg at the 58th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 515 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Edinburg's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 58th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Edinburg (74.4% of 515 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 25.6% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Edinburg ranks
There's little gap between Edinburg's 58th national percentile and its 64th percentile inside Virginia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edinburg ranks 13,222 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,113 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 244 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 58th national percentile, Edinburg rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Edinburg (74.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
