Jonesville, VA
Jonesville, VA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Jonesville at the 89th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 607 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Jonesville at the 93rd national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
607 buildings are counted in Jonesville, and 59% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 41% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Jonesville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Jonesville's 89th national percentile and its 98th percentile inside Virginia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jonesville ranks 3,418 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,741 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 17 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
Jonesville and the insurance market
At the 89th percentile nationally, Jonesville carries the very 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 ember exposure the dominant pattern in Jonesville (59% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
