Enon, VA
Enon wildfire risk explained
Enon sits at the 37th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,838 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Enon's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 36th percentile nationally.
Where Enon's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 53.8% of Enon's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 46.2% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 989 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Enon against the rest of the country
Enon scores 37th nationally and 27th within Virginia — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Enon ranks 19,963 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,954 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 501 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
Enon and the insurance market
At the 37th national percentile, Enon rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
