Stonewall, NC
Stonewall, NC's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Stonewall sits at the 79th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 210 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Stonewall's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 73rd percentile nationally.
Stonewall's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 89.5% of Stonewall's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 10.5% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 188 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
