Reidville, SC
Reidville, SC's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Reidville sits at the 55th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 848 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Reidville at the 59th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Reidville's buildings actually sit
68.2% of Reidville's 848 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 578 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 31.8% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Reidville against the rest of the country
Inside South Carolina, Reidville sits at just the 9th percentile even though it scores 55th 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, Reidville ranks 14,288 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,183 by building count (1 is largest). Within South Carolina alone, it ranks 432 of 474 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Reidville
Reidville's elevated rating (55th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
