Moody AFB, GA
Moody AFB, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Moody AFB's 587 buildings earn a 62nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Moody AFB at the 63rd percentile, close to its 62nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Moody AFB's buildings (75%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Moody AFB compares
Moody AFB ranks lower within Georgia (26th percentile statewide) than its 62nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Moody AFB ranks 12,093 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,999 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 494 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Moody AFB and the insurance market
Moody AFB's high rating (62nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 75% of Moody AFB's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Moody AFB's figures come from
Moody AFB's 62nd-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 Moody AFB's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
