Stonecrest, GA
Stonecrest wildfire risk explained
Stonecrest's 15,915 buildings earn a 54th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Stonecrest at the 57th percentile, close to its 54th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Stonecrest's 15,915 counted buildings, 53% carry Direct exposure and only 30.4% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first. At 15,915 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Stonecrest compares
Inside Georgia, Stonecrest sits at just the 10th percentile even though it scores 54th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Stonecrest ranks 14,649 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 922 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 604 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Stonecrest and the insurance market
At the 54th national percentile, Stonecrest rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 53% of Stonecrest in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
