Mocksville, NC
How exposed is Mocksville to wildfire?
Mocksville sits at the 55th 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 2,813 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Mocksville at the 58th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Mocksville's 2,813 counted buildings, 63.7% 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.
How Mocksville compares
Mocksville scores 55th nationally and 50th within North Carolina — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mocksville ranks 14,340 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,735 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Carolina alone, it ranks 382 of 772 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Mocksville
At the 55th national percentile, Mocksville rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 63.7% of Mocksville 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.
More on how this number was built
Mocksville's 55th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Mocksville, see the exposure-zones guide.
