Peachtree Corners, GA
Peachtree Corners, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Peachtree Corners at the 46th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 10,278 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Peachtree Corners at the 49th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
49.8% of Peachtree Corners's 10,278 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 37.8% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 10,278 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Peachtree Corners against the rest of the country
Peachtree Corners ranks lower within Georgia (1st percentile statewide) than its 46th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Peachtree Corners ranks 17,169 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,559 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 664 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
Peachtree Corners's elevated rating (46th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Peachtree Corners
