Newborn, GA
Newborn wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Newborn lands at the 64th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 405 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Newborn at the 67th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Newborn's building exposure, zone by zone
405 buildings are counted in Newborn, and 90.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Newborn against the rest of the country
Inside Georgia, Newborn sits at just the 38th percentile even though it scores 64th 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, Newborn ranks 11,277 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,117 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 414 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Newborn
Newborn's high rating (64th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Newborn (90.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Newborn's 11,277-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Newborn, see the exposure-zones guide.
