Hawkinsville, GA
Hawkinsville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Hawkinsville at the 63rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,883 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hawkinsville at the 64th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Hawkinsville's buildings actually sit
58.3% of Hawkinsville's 1,883 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 41.7% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Hawkinsville against the rest of the country
Inside Georgia, Hawkinsville sits at just the 30th percentile even though it scores 63rd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

What this risk score means for insurance
Hawkinsville's high rating (63rd 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.
