Tillmans Corner, AL
Tillmans Corner, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Tillmans Corner at the 84th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 8,124 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Tillmans Corner at the 86th percentile, close to its 84th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
79% of Tillmans Corner's 8,124 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 6,415 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 20.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0.3% are Minimal. At 8,124 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Tillmans Corner against the rest of the country
Tillmans Corner scores 84th nationally and 86th within Alabama — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives.

Within Alabama alone, it ranks 82 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
Tillmans Corner and the insurance market
Tillmans Corner's very high rating (84th 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Tillmans Corner (79%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
