Hapeville, GA
Hapeville wildfire risk explained
Hapeville sits at the 49th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,598 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hapeville at the 52nd national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Hapeville's buildings actually sit
Hapeville rates 74.5% Minimal exposure against just 25.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 2,598 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Hapeville ranks
Hapeville ranks lower within Georgia (4th percentile statewide) than its 49th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hapeville ranks 16,224 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,105 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 640 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
At the 49th national percentile, Hapeville rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Hapeville
Hapeville's 74.5% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
