Pitts, GA
Pitts, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Pitts sits at the 63rd 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 240 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Pitts's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 63rd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Pitts's 240 counted buildings, 66.7% 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.
Pitts against the rest of the country
Inside Georgia, Pitts sits at just the 32nd 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. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Pitts ranks 11,658 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,454 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 459 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Pitts and the insurance market
Pitts's high rating (63rd 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.
Hardening a home in Pitts
Pitts's 66.7% 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.
