Fort Stewart, GA
Fort Stewart, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Fort Stewart's 2,416 buildings earn a 60th-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 Fort Stewart at the 60th 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
Most of Fort Stewart's buildings (66.7%) 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.
Fort Stewart against the rest of the country
Fort Stewart ranks lower within Georgia (19th percentile statewide) than its 60th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high.

Within Georgia alone, it ranks 545 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fort Stewart

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Fort Stewart's 66.7% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
