Vredenburgh, AL
Vredenburgh, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Vredenburgh at the 61st national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 147 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Vredenburgh at the 62nd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Vredenburgh's building exposure, zone by zone
72.1% of Vredenburgh's 147 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 106 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 27.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Vredenburgh against the rest of the country
Inside Alabama, Vredenburgh sits at just the 28th percentile even though it scores 61st nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

Within Alabama alone, it ranks 428 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
