Mansfield, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Mansfield's 309 buildings earn a 63rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Mansfield at the 67th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 75.1% of Mansfield's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 24.9% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 232 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Mansfield compares
Inside Georgia, Mansfield sits at just the 33rd percentile even though it scores 63rd 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, Mansfield ranks 11,562 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,387 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 448 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Mansfield and the insurance market
Mansfield's 63rd-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
Mansfield's 75.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
