Where Maynardville's buildings actually sit
57.2% of Maynardville's 1,250 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 715 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 42.8% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Maynardville compares
Maynardville scores 83rd nationally and 91st within Tennessee — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives.

Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 42 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
