Maury City, TN
Maury City wildfire risk explained
Maury City's 475 buildings earn a 11th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Maury City at the 11th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
Maury City's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Maury City's buildings (52.2% of 475) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Maury City compares
There's little gap between Maury City's 11th national percentile and its 2nd percentile inside Tennessee, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Maury City ranks 28,066 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,804 by building count (1 is largest). Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 492 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Maury City
Maury City's low wildfire rating (11th 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
Maury City's 52.2% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
