Norman Park, GA
Norman Park wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Norman Park lands at the 69th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 557 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Norman Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 68th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Norman Park: 68.6% of its 557 buildings, versus 31.4% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Norman Park ranks
Norman Park scores 69th nationally and 60th within Georgia — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Norman Park ranks 9,894 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,451 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 270 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Norman Park's high rating (69th 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.

More on how this number was built
Norman Park's 69th-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 Norman Park, see the exposure-zones guide.
