Smyrna, GA
Smyrna, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Smyrna at the 54th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 15,937 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Smyrna at the 57th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Smyrna's buildings actually sit
Only 33.6% of Smyrna's 15,937 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 66.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 15,937 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Smyrna ranks
Smyrna's 54th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 10th ranking inside Georgia does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 44 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Smyrna ranks 14,648 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 921 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 603 of 669 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Smyrna
Smyrna's elevated rating (54th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Smyrna
Smyrna's 66.4% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Smyrna's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Smyrna's 14,648-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Smyrna's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
