Triana, AL
How exposed is Triana to wildfire?
Triana's 1,274 buildings earn a 33rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Triana's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 36th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
72.5% of Triana's 1,274 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 27.6% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Triana against the rest of the country
Triana's 33rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 3rd ranking inside Alabama does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 31 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Triana ranks 20,978 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,228 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 577 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Triana's moderate rating (33rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Triana's 72.5% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
