Trion, GA
Trion, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Trion at the 78th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 907 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 Trion at the 81st percentile, close to its 78th-percentile risk score.
Trion's building exposure, zone by zone
907 buildings are counted in Trion, and 58.5% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 41.5% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Trion ranks
Trion scores 78th nationally and 87th 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, Trion ranks 7,058 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,659 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 88 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Trion and the insurance market
At the 78th percentile nationally, Trion carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 58.5% of Trion's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Trion's figures come from
The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 907 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Trion. The exposure-zones guide covers what Trion's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
