Grover, SC
How exposed is Grover to wildfire?
Grover sits at the 70th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 257 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Grover at the 70th percentile, close to its 70th-percentile risk score.
Grover's building exposure, zone by zone
257 buildings are counted in Grover, and 99.6% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Grover ranks
Grover's risk sits at a similar level relative to South Carolina (58th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (70th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Grover ranks 9,467 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,926 by building count (1 is largest). Within South Carolina alone, it ranks 198 of 474 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Grover
Grover's high rating (70th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Grover's 99.6% 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.
More on how this number was built
Grover's 70th-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 Grover, see the exposure-zones guide.
