Where Sunset Village's buildings actually sit
Of Sunset Village's 597 counted buildings, 96.5% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Sunset Village against the rest of the country
Sunset Village scores 77th nationally and 86th within Georgia — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Sunset Village ranks 7,247 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,881 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 98 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Sunset Village and the insurance market
Sunset Village's high rating (77th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 96.5% of Sunset Village 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.
More on how this number was built
Sunset Village's 77th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Sunset Village, see the exposure-zones guide.
