Huntland, TN
Huntland, TN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Huntland's 629 buildings earn a 30th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Huntland's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 33rd percentile nationally.
Huntland's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Huntland's 629 counted buildings, 68.2% carry Direct exposure and only 25% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Huntland ranks
Huntland scores 30th nationally and 19th within Tennessee — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Huntland ranks 21,948 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,463 by building count (1 is largest). Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 408 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 30th national percentile, Huntland rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Huntland (68.2%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
