Villa Rica, GA
How exposed is Villa Rica to wildfire?
Villa Rica sits at the 82nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 6,322 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Villa Rica's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 85th percentile nationally.
Villa Rica's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 57% of Villa Rica's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 41.5% Indirect share and far above its 1.5% Minimal share — a profile where 3,602 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most. At 6,322 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Villa Rica against the rest of the country
Villa Rica's risk sits at a similar level relative to Georgia (93rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (82nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Villa Rica ranks 5,796 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,739 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 47 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Villa Rica
Villa Rica's very high rating (82nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Villa Rica's 57% 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 Villa Rica's figures come from
Villa Rica's 82nd-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 Villa Rica's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
