Flintville, TN
Flintville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Flintville at the 28th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 586 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Flintville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 30th percentile nationally.
Flintville's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Flintville's 586 counted buildings, 90.4% 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.
How Flintville compares
There's little gap between Flintville's 28th national percentile and its 13th percentile inside Tennessee, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Flintville ranks 22,835 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,027 by building count (1 is largest). Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 436 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
Flintville and the insurance market
Flintville's moderate rating (28th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Flintville
Because Direct exposure dominates in Flintville (90.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
