Webb, AL
How exposed is Webb to wildfire?
Webb's 1,017 buildings earn a 62nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Webb at the 63rd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Webb's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 88.6% of Webb's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 11.4% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 901 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Webb compares
Inside Alabama, Webb sits at just the 30th percentile even though it scores 62nd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Webb ranks 12,027 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,820 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 418 of 592 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Webb
At the 62nd percentile nationally, Webb carries the 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Webb's 88.6% 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 Webb's figures come from
Webb's 62nd-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 Webb's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
