Mamers, NC
Mamers, NC's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Mamers's 601 buildings earn a 57th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Mamers at the 58th percentile, close to its 57th-percentile risk score.
Mamers's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Mamers's 601 counted buildings, 88.5% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Mamers ranks
Mamers scores 57th nationally and 55th within North Carolina — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mamers ranks 13,594 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,823 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Carolina alone, it ranks 352 of 772 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Mamers
Mamers's elevated wildfire rating (57th 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 88.5% of Mamers 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
Mamers's 57th-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 Mamers, see the exposure-zones guide.
