Rehobeth, AL
Rehobeth, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Rehobeth lands at the 58th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,041 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rehobeth at the 59th national percentile — 1 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
1,041 buildings are counted in Rehobeth, and 87.9% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0.1% rated Minimal.
Where Rehobeth ranks
Rehobeth ranks lower within Alabama (20th percentile statewide) than its 58th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high.

Rehobeth and the insurance market
At the 58th national percentile, Rehobeth rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Rehobeth's 87.9% 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.
Where Rehobeth's figures come from
Rehobeth's 58th-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 Rehobeth's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
