Where Jonesville's buildings actually sit
Of Jonesville's 1,420 counted buildings, 68.9% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Jonesville compares
Inside North Carolina, Jonesville sits at just the 12th percentile even though it scores 38th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jonesville ranks 19,542 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,539 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Carolina alone, it ranks 676 of 772 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Jonesville
Jonesville's moderate wildfire rating (38th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 68.9% of Jonesville 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 Jonesville's figures come from
Jonesville's 38th-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 Jonesville's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
