Remerton, GA
How exposed is Remerton to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Remerton at the 52nd national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 357 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Remerton at the 54th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Remerton's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 96.1% of Remerton's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 3.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Remerton compares
Remerton ranks lower within Georgia (8th percentile statewide) than its 52nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Remerton ranks 15,059 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,124 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 615 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Remerton
At the 52nd national percentile, Remerton rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Remerton's 96.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
