Repton, AL
How exposed is Repton to wildfire?
USFS scores Repton at the 81st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 211 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Repton at the 82nd percentile, close to its 81st-percentile risk score.
Repton's building exposure, zone by zone
211 buildings are counted in Repton, and 82.9% 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% rated Minimal.
Where Repton ranks
Repton's risk sits at a similar level relative to Alabama (79th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (81st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Repton ranks 5,944 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,428 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 127 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Repton
Repton's 81st-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Repton
Because Direct exposure dominates in Repton (82.9%), 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
Repton's 81st-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 Repton, see the exposure-zones guide.
