Millington, TN
Millington wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Millington at the 41st national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 4,666 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Millington's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 42nd percentile nationally.
Where Millington's buildings actually sit
Only 25.4% of Millington's 4,666 buildings carry Direct exposure and 26% carry Indirect; the remaining 48.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Millington ranks
There's little gap between Millington's 41st national percentile and its 30th percentile inside Tennessee, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Millington ranks 18,610 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,644 by building count (1 is largest). Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 352 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Millington
Millington's elevated wildfire rating (41st 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Millington's 48.7% 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.
