Enterprise, AL
How exposed is Enterprise to wildfire?
USFS scores Enterprise at the 54th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 12,144 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Enterprise at the 55th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Enterprise's buildings (48.9%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone. At 12,144 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Enterprise ranks
Enterprise's 54th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 10th ranking inside Alabama does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 44 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Enterprise ranks 14,548 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,280 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 532 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Enterprise
Enterprise's elevated wildfire rating (54th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Enterprise
Because 48.9% of Enterprise's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Enterprise's 54th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Enterprise, see the exposure-zones guide.
