Jamesville, NC
Jamesville, NC's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Jamesville sits at the 51st 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 315 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Jamesville at the 52nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Jamesville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 66% of Jamesville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 34% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 208 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
