Rentz, GA
Rentz, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rentz at the 66th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 260 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Rentz at the 65th percentile, close to its 66th-percentile risk score.
Rentz's building exposure, zone by zone
71.2% of Rentz's 260 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 185 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 28.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Rentz compares
Rentz ranks lower within Georgia (45th percentile statewide) than its 66th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rentz ranks 10,838 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,820 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 368 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Rentz and the insurance market
At the 66th percentile nationally, Rentz 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Rentz's 71.2% 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.
More on how this number was built
Rentz's 66th-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 Rentz, see the exposure-zones guide.
