Weaver, AL
How exposed is Weaver to wildfire?
Weaver's 1,620 buildings earn a 83rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Weaver's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 86th percentile nationally.
Where Weaver's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 89.7% of Weaver's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 10.3% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 1,453 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Weaver ranks
There's little gap between Weaver's 83rd national percentile and its 84th percentile inside Alabama, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Weaver ranks 5,344 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,692 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 94 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 83rd percentile nationally, Weaver carries the very 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
With 89.7% of Weaver 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.
Where Weaver's figures come from
Weaver's 83rd-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 Weaver's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
