Woodbridge, VA
How exposed is Woodbridge to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Woodbridge lands at the 29th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 7,830 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Woodbridge's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 27th percentile nationally.
Woodbridge's building exposure, zone by zone
Woodbridge rates 75% Minimal exposure against just 17.1% Direct and 7.9% Indirect — of 7,830 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 7,830 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Woodbridge against the rest of the country
Woodbridge's risk sits at a similar level relative to Virginia (19th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (29th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodbridge ranks 22,519 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,169 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 554 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 29th national percentile, Woodbridge rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 75% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Woodbridge gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Woodbridge's figures come from
Woodbridge's 29th-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 Woodbridge's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
