Lakeview Estates, GA
Lakeview Estates, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lakeview Estates sits at the 53rd 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 628 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lakeview Estates at the 56th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Lakeview Estates's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 82.6% of Lakeview Estates's 628 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 17.2% Direct and 0.2% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Lakeview Estates against the rest of the country
Inside Georgia, Lakeview Estates sits at just the 9th percentile even though it scores 53rd 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, Lakeview Estates ranks 14,802 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,467 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 608 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lakeview Estates
Lakeview Estates's elevated wildfire rating (53rd 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 ember exposure the dominant pattern in Lakeview Estates (82.6% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
