Tucker, GA
How exposed is Tucker to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Tucker at the 46th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 12,164 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tucker's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 49th percentile nationally.
Where Tucker's buildings actually sit
Of Tucker's 12,164 counted buildings, 52.8% carry Direct exposure and only 46.9% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first. At 12,164 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Tucker ranks
Inside Georgia, Tucker sits at just the 1st percentile even though it scores 46th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tucker ranks 17,073 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,278 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 661 of 669 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Tucker
At the 46th national percentile, Tucker rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Tucker's 52.8% 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.
Where Tucker's figures come from
Tucker's 46th-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 Tucker's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
