Fairview, TN
How exposed is Fairview to wildfire?
Fairview's 3,822 buildings earn a 46th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fairview at the 48th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Fairview's building exposure, zone by zone
3,822 buildings are counted in Fairview, and 92.3% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Fairview ranks
Fairview's risk sits at a similar level relative to Tennessee (36th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (46th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fairview ranks 17,162 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,407 by building count (1 is largest). Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 322 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fairview
Fairview's elevated wildfire rating (46th 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 Fairview
Because Direct exposure dominates in Fairview (92.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
