Seabrook, SC
Seabrook, SC's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Seabrook at the 84th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 660 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 Seabrook at the 79th percentile, close to its 84th-percentile risk score.
Seabrook's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 98.6% of Seabrook's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 1.2% Indirect share and far above its 0.2% Minimal share — a profile where 651 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Seabrook against the rest of the country
Seabrook's risk sits at a similar level relative to South Carolina (92nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (84th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Seabrook ranks 5,149 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,068 by building count (1 is largest). Within South Carolina alone, it ranks 42 of 474 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Seabrook
Seabrook's very high rating (84th 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 Seabrook
Seabrook's 98.6% 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
Seabrook's 84th-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 Seabrook, see the exposure-zones guide.
