Hackneyville, AL
Hackneyville wildfire risk explained
Hackneyville's 278 buildings earn a 89th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hackneyville at the 92nd percentile, close to its 89th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Hackneyville's 278 counted buildings, 100% 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.
Where Hackneyville ranks
Hackneyville scores 89th nationally and 96th within Alabama — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hackneyville ranks 3,485 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,250 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 26 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Hackneyville's very high rating (89th 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.
Hardening a home in Hackneyville
With 100% of Hackneyville in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Hackneyville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Hackneyville's 3,485-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Hackneyville's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
