Surrency, GA
Surrency, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Surrency at the 68th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 190 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Surrency at the 68th percentile, close to its 68th-percentile risk score.
Where Surrency's buildings actually sit
Of Surrency's 190 counted buildings, 72.1% 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.
How Surrency compares
Surrency's risk sits at a similar level relative to Georgia (58th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (68th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Surrency ranks 10,076 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,231 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 282 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Surrency and the insurance market
Surrency's high rating (68th 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 Surrency
Surrency's 72.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
