Union Point, GA
Union Point, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Union Point's 810 buildings earn a 74th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Union Point at the 76th percentile, close to its 74th-percentile risk score.
Union Point's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Union Point's 810 counted buildings, 74% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Union Point compares
Union Point scores 74th nationally and 78th 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, Union Point ranks 8,223 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,550 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 145 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Union Point and the insurance market
At the 74th percentile nationally, Union Point 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Union Point (74%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Union Point's 74th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Union Point, see the exposure-zones guide.
