Redan, GA
Redan wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Redan at the 47th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 9,152 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Redan's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 50th percentile nationally.
Redan's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Redan's buildings (55% of 9,152) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 9,152 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Redan compares
Inside Georgia, Redan sits at just the 4th percentile even though it scores 47th 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, Redan ranks 16,568 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,805 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 646 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Redan and the insurance market
At the 47th national percentile, Redan rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Redan
Even with 55% of Redan outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Redan's figures come from
Redan's 47th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Redan's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
