Enigma, GA
Enigma, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Enigma at the 63rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 638 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Enigma's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 63rd percentile nationally.
Enigma's building exposure, zone by zone
82.5% of Enigma's 638 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 526 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 17.6% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Enigma compares
Enigma ranks lower within Georgia (33rd percentile statewide) than its 63rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Enigma ranks 11,624 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,355 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 452 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Enigma
Enigma's 63rd-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Enigma
With 82.5% of Enigma 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.
Where Enigma's figures come from
Enigma's 63rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Enigma's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
