Enochville, NC
How exposed is Enochville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Enochville lands at the 50th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,982 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Enochville at the 54th percentile, close to its 50th-percentile risk score.
Enochville's building exposure, zone by zone
1,982 buildings are counted in Enochville, and 73.5% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 1.4% rated Minimal.
