Quicksburg, VA
Quicksburg, VA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Quicksburg lands at the 56th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 113 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Quicksburg's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 58th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
69% of Quicksburg's 113 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 78 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 31% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Quicksburg against the rest of the country
