Farmville, VA
Farmville wildfire risk explained
Farmville's 2,794 buildings earn a 39th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Farmville at the 40th percentile, close to its 39th-percentile risk score.
Where Farmville's buildings actually sit
Most of Farmville's buildings (61%) 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.
Farmville against the rest of the country
Farmville scores 39th nationally and 30th within Virginia — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Farmville ranks 19,367 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,774 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 477 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Farmville
