Flemington, GA
How exposed is Flemington to wildfire?
USFS scores Flemington at the 64th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 386 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Flemington at the 65th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 73.1% of Flemington's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 26.9% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 282 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Flemington against the rest of the country
Inside Georgia, Flemington sits at just the 39th percentile even though it scores 64th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

Within Georgia alone, it ranks 407 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Flemington
At the 64th percentile nationally, Flemington carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Flemington's 73.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Flemington's figures come from
Flemington's 64th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Flemington's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
