Maysville, GA
Maysville wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Maysville lands at the 64th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 980 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Maysville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 68th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Maysville's 980 counted buildings, 80.6% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Maysville ranks
Inside Georgia, Maysville sits at just the 36th percentile even though it scores 64th 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, Maysville ranks 11,373 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,069 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 430 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 64th percentile nationally, Maysville carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 80.6% of Maysville in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Maysville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Maysville's 11,373-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Maysville's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
