Rincon, GA
Rincon wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Rincon at the 67th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 3,671 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rincon at the 67th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Rincon's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Rincon's buildings (53.9%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Rincon ranks
Rincon's risk sits at a similar level relative to Georgia (52nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (67th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rincon ranks 10,530 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,560 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 326 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rincon
At the 67th percentile nationally, Rincon 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
Rincon's 53.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
