Eunola, AL
Eunola, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Eunola sits at the 63rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 211 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Eunola's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 64th percentile nationally.
Where Eunola's buildings actually sit
Of Eunola's 211 counted buildings, 97.6% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Eunola ranks
Eunola's 63rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 32nd ranking inside Alabama does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 31 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eunola ranks 11,554 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,427 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 400 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
Eunola'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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 97.6% of Eunola 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.
