Reynolds, GA
How exposed is Reynolds to wildfire?
Reynolds's 654 buildings earn a 64th-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Reynolds's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 65th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Reynolds (60.1% of 654 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 39.9% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Reynolds ranks
Reynolds's 64th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 35th ranking inside Georgia does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 29 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Reynolds ranks 11,432 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,147 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 437 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Reynolds's high rating (64th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Reynolds
Because 60.1% of Reynolds's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Reynolds's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Reynolds's 11,432-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Reynolds's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
