Rembert, SC
Rembert, SC's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rembert's 223 buildings earn a 74th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Rembert at the 74th percentile, close to its 74th-percentile risk score.
Where Rembert's buildings actually sit
223 buildings are counted in Rembert, and 84.3% 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% rated Minimal.
How Rembert compares
Rembert's risk sits at a similar level relative to South Carolina (70th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (74th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rembert ranks 8,235 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,034 by building count (1 is largest). Within South Carolina alone, it ranks 142 of 474 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Carolina on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 74th percentile nationally, Rembert carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Rembert
Because Direct exposure dominates in Rembert (84.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Rembert's 74th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Rembert, see the exposure-zones guide.
