Wildwood, GA
How exposed is Wildwood to wildfire?
Wildwood's 309 buildings earn a 81st-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wildwood at the 84th percentile, close to its 81st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
309 buildings are counted in Wildwood, and 99.7% 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.
How Wildwood compares
There's little gap between Wildwood's 81st national percentile and its 92nd percentile inside Georgia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wildwood ranks 5,982 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,388 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 53 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Wildwood and the insurance market
At the 81st percentile nationally, Wildwood 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Wildwood (99.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
