Woodland, AL
How exposed is Woodland to wildfire?
Woodland sits at the 86th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 205 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 Woodland at the 89th percentile, close to its 86th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
205 buildings are counted in Woodland, and 83.9% 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.
Woodland against the rest of the country
Woodland's risk sits at a similar level relative to Alabama (90th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (86th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodland ranks 4,430 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,654 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 59 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
Woodland's very high rating (86th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Woodland (83.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.

Every one of the two percentiles behind Woodland's 4,430-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Woodland, see the exposure-zones guide.
