Eufaula, AL
Eufaula, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Eufaula's 7,019 buildings earn a 66th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Eufaula at the 68th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Eufaula's building exposure, zone by zone
56.1% of Eufaula's 7,019 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 3,937 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 42.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 1.2% are Minimal. At 7,019 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Eufaula against the rest of the country
Eufaula's 66th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 38th ranking inside Alabama does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 29 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eufaula ranks 10,578 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,449 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 369 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Eufaula's high rating (66th 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 Eufaula (56.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
