Ochlocknee, GA
Ochlocknee, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Ochlocknee at the 67th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 353 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Ochlocknee at the 66th percentile, close to its 67th-percentile risk score.
Where Ochlocknee's buildings actually sit
353 buildings are counted in Ochlocknee, and 72.8% 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.
Ochlocknee against the rest of the country
Ochlocknee scores 67th nationally and 54th 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, Ochlocknee ranks 10,394 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,228 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 314 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
Ochlocknee's 67th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 72.8% of Ochlocknee in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Ochlocknee's 67th-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 Ochlocknee, see the exposure-zones guide.
