Grand Junction, TN
Grand Junction, TN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Grand Junction lands at the 75th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 290 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Grand Junction's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 78th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Grand Junction's 290 counted buildings, 63.1% 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 Grand Junction compares
Grand Junction's risk sits at a similar level relative to Tennessee (77th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (75th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Grand Junction ranks 7,888 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,924 by building count (1 is largest). Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 118 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
Grand Junction and the insurance market
Grand Junction's high rating (75th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Grand Junction (63.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Grand Junction's 75th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Grand Junction, see the exposure-zones guide.
