Littleville, AL
How exposed is Littleville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Littleville lands at the 52nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 726 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Littleville at the 55th percentile, close to its 52nd-percentile risk score.
Littleville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 78.5% of Littleville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 21.5% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 570 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Littleville against the rest of the country
Inside Alabama, Littleville sits at just the 8th percentile even though it scores 52nd 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, Littleville ranks 15,178 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,376 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 544 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
Littleville and the insurance market
Littleville's elevated wildfire rating (52nd 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Littleville (78.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
