Warrior, AL
How exposed is Warrior to wildfire?
Warrior sits at the 75th 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 1,899 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Warrior's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 78th percentile nationally.
Where Warrior's buildings actually sit
1,899 buildings are counted in Warrior, and 75.3% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Warrior ranks
Warrior's 75th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 58th ranking inside Alabama does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 17 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Warrior ranks 7,930 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,767 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 248 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Warrior
Warrior's high rating (75th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 75.3% of Warrior in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
