Henrietta, NC
Henrietta, NC's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Henrietta at the 64th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 285 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Henrietta at the 68th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Henrietta's building exposure, zone by zone
285 buildings are counted in Henrietta, and 65.3% 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.
How Henrietta compares
Henrietta's risk sits at a similar level relative to North Carolina (64th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (64th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Henrietta ranks 11,252 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,039 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Carolina alone, it ranks 280 of 772 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Henrietta
At the 64th percentile nationally, Henrietta carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 65.3% of Henrietta 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 Henrietta's figures come from
Henrietta's 64th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Henrietta's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
