Woodbury, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

High
75thpercentile nationally

Woodbury 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 701 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Woodbury at the 78th percentile, close to its 75th-percentile risk score.

Woodbury's building exposure, zone by zone

701Total buildings
51.6%Direct exposure
48.4%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

51.6% of Woodbury's 701 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 362 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 48.4% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.

Where Woodbury ranks

There's little gap between Woodbury's 75th national percentile and its 81st percentile inside Georgia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodbury ranks 7,968 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,644 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 129 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.

Woodbury and the insurance market

Woodbury'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.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Because Direct exposure dominates in Woodbury (51.6%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
