Peachtree City, GA
How exposed is Peachtree City to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Peachtree City at the 63rd national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 13,022 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 Peachtree City at the 66th percentile, close to its 63rd-percentile risk score.
Peachtree City's building exposure, zone by zone
49.9% of Peachtree City's 13,022 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 6,491 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 47.2% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 2.9% are Minimal. At 13,022 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Peachtree City against the rest of the country
Inside Georgia, Peachtree City sits at just the 30th percentile even though it scores 63rd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

Within Georgia alone, it ranks 470 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Peachtree City

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Peachtree City (49.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
