Odenville, AL
Odenville, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Odenville sits at the 78th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,533 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Odenville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 81st percentile nationally.
Where Odenville's buildings actually sit
Of Odenville's 2,533 counted buildings, 87.5% 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.
Odenville against the rest of the country
Odenville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Alabama (70th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (78th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Odenville ranks 6,858 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,237 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 179 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Odenville
Odenville's high rating (78th 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
Odenville's 87.5% 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.
