Quantico, VA
Quantico wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Quantico lands at the 39th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 151 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Quantico at the 37th percentile, close to its 39th-percentile risk score.
Quantico's building exposure, zone by zone
151 buildings are counted in Quantico, and 98.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 1.3% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Quantico ranks
Quantico's risk sits at a similar level relative to Virginia (30th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (39th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Quantico ranks 19,334 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,862 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 475 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Quantico
Quantico's moderate rating (39th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 98.7% of Quantico's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
