Warrenton, GA
Warrenton, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Warrenton at the 74th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 966 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Warrenton's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 77th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Warrenton's 966 counted buildings, 57.4% 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 Warrenton compares

Shopping for coverage in Warrenton
Warrenton's high rating (74th 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
Warrenton's 57.4% 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.
