Ty Ty, GA
Ty Ty, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Ty Ty sits at the 64th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 386 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Ty Ty at the 63rd percentile, close to its 64th-percentile risk score.
Ty Ty's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Ty Ty: 65.5% of its 386 buildings, versus 34.5% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Ty Ty ranks
Ty Ty ranks lower within Georgia (34th percentile statewide) than its 64th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ty Ty ranks 11,468 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,484 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 442 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Ty Ty and the insurance market
At the 64th percentile nationally, Ty Ty 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 Direct exposure dominates in Ty Ty (65.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
