Marshallville, GA
Marshallville, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Marshallville at the 64th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 618 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Marshallville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 65th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
618 buildings are counted in Marshallville, and 72.5% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Marshallville against the rest of the country
Marshallville's 64th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 35th ranking inside Georgia does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 29 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Marshallville ranks 11,430 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,587 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 435 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Marshallville
Marshallville's 64th-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 Marshallville
Because Direct exposure dominates in Marshallville (72.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
