Eutawville, SC
How exposed is Eutawville to wildfire?
Eutawville sits at the 84th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 277 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Eutawville at the 83rd national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Where Eutawville ranks

Within South Carolina alone, it ranks 40 of 474 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Carolina on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Eutawville's 84th-percentile, very 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.
Hardening a home in Eutawville
Because Direct exposure dominates in Eutawville (85.6%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
