Keysville, GA
Keysville, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Keysville sits at the 67th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 185 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Keysville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 68th percentile nationally.
Keysville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 95.1% of Keysville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 4.9% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 176 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Keysville ranks
Keysville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Georgia (53rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (67th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Keysville ranks 10,458 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,410 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 317 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Keysville and the insurance market
Keysville's 67th-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.
Hardening a home in Keysville
With 95.1% of Keysville 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.
More on how this number was built
Keysville's 67th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Keysville, see the exposure-zones guide.
