Morgan, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

High
62ndpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Morgan lands at the 62nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 262 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Morgan at the 61st national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Where Morgan ranks

Inside Georgia, Morgan sits at just the 26th percentile even though it scores 62nd 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, Morgan ranks 12,126 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,766 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 496 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.

Morgan and the insurance market

Morgan'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.
