Turin, GA
Turin, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Turin at the 69th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 240 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Turin at the 73rd percentile, close to its 69th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 80.4% of Turin's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 19.6% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 193 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Turin ranks
Turin scores 69th nationally and 63rd 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, Turin ranks 9,637 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,455 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 248 of 669 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Turin
At the 69th percentile nationally, Turin 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.
