Stoneville's building exposure, zone by zone

Stoneville against the rest of the country
Inside North Carolina, Stoneville sits at just the 6th percentile even though it scores 34th 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, Stoneville ranks 20,774 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,806 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Carolina alone, it ranks 727 of 772 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Carolina on its state page.
Stoneville and the insurance market
Stoneville's moderate rating (34th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
