Stuckey, SC
Stuckey wildfire risk explained
Stuckey's 139 buildings earn a 80th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Stuckey at the 80th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Stuckey's buildings actually sit
139 buildings are counted in Stuckey, and 93.5% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Stuckey against the rest of the country
Stuckey scores 80th nationally and 84th within South Carolina — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Stuckey ranks 6,346 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,344 by building count (1 is largest). Within South Carolina alone, it ranks 78 of 474 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for South Carolina on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Stuckey
Stuckey's high rating (80th 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 Stuckey
With 93.5% of Stuckey 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.
Where Stuckey's figures come from
Stuckey's 80th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Stuckey's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
