Martinez, GA
Martinez, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Martinez's 14,320 buildings earn a 60th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Martinez at the 63rd national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Martinez's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 53.6% of Martinez's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 30.1% Direct and 16.3% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one. At 14,320 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Martinez compares
Martinez ranks lower within Georgia (18th percentile statewide) than its 60th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Martinez ranks 12,726 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,046 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 547 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Martinez
At the 60th national percentile, Martinez rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Martinez
Even with 53.6% of Martinez outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
