Edneyville, NC
Edneyville, NC's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Edneyville sits at the 64th 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 1,661 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Edneyville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 67th percentile nationally.
Edneyville's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Edneyville: 93.4% of its 1,661 buildings, versus 6.6% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Edneyville ranks
Edneyville scores 64th nationally and 63rd within North Carolina — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edneyville ranks 11,320 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,560 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Carolina alone, it ranks 282 of 772 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Edneyville
Edneyville'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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Edneyville (93.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Edneyville's 64th-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 Edneyville, see the exposure-zones guide.
