Millport, AL
Millport, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Millport sits at the 57th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 697 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Millport's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 59th percentile nationally.
Millport's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 69.4% of Millport's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 30.6% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 484 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Millport against the rest of the country
Millport's 57th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 18th ranking inside Alabama does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 39 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Millport ranks 13,448 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,686 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 488 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
Millport and the insurance market
Millport's elevated rating (57th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Millport (69.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Millport's figures come from
Millport's 57th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Millport's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
