Parrott, GA
Parrott, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Parrott at the 62nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 204 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Parrott's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 61st percentile nationally.
Where Parrott's buildings actually sit
204 buildings are counted in Parrott, and 67.2% 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.
Where Parrott ranks
Parrott's 62nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 27th ranking inside Georgia does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 35 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Parrott ranks 11,999 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,688 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 488 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Parrott
Parrott's 62nd-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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Parrott (67.2%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Parrott's figures come from
Parrott's 62nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Parrott's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
