Morris, AL
How exposed is Morris to wildfire?
USFS scores Morris at the 76th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 978 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Morris's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 80th percentile nationally.
Morris's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Morris's 978 counted buildings, 75.5% 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 Morris compares
There's little gap between Morris's 76th national percentile and its 63rd percentile inside Alabama, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Morris ranks 7,519 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,085 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 218 of 592 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Morris
Morris's high rating (76th 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.
Hardening a home in Morris
Morris's 75.5% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
