Juliette, GA
How exposed is Juliette to wildfire?
USFS scores Juliette at the 72nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 161 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Juliette at the 73rd percentile, close to its 72nd-percentile risk score.
Where Juliette's buildings actually sit
161 buildings are counted in Juliette, and 100% 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.
Where Juliette ranks
Juliette's risk sits at a similar level relative to Georgia (69th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (72nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Juliette ranks 8,975 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,373 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 205 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Juliette
Juliette's 72nd-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 100% of Juliette 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.
