Trinity, AL
Trinity wildfire risk explained
Trinity's 1,582 buildings earn a 38th-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, Trinity's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 40th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Trinity: 74.9% of its 1,582 buildings, versus 18% Indirect and 7.1% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Trinity compares
Trinity ranks lower within Alabama (3rd percentile statewide) than its 38th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Trinity ranks 19,403 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,820 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 574 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
Trinity's moderate rating (38th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Trinity
Because Direct exposure dominates in Trinity (74.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Trinity's figures come from
Trinity's 38th-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 Trinity's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
