Hampton, GA
How exposed is Hampton to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Hampton at the 64th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 3,171 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hampton at the 67th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Hampton's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Hampton's 3,171 counted buildings, 63.5% 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.
Hampton against the rest of the country
Inside Georgia, Hampton sits at just the 36th percentile even though it scores 64th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hampton ranks 11,372 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,200 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 429 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Hampton's high rating (64th 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Hampton (63.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
