Woodstock, AL
Woodstock, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Woodstock at the 73rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 882 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Woodstock at the 76th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Woodstock: 92.7% of its 882 buildings, versus 7.3% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Woodstock compares
Inside Alabama, Woodstock sits at just the 53rd percentile even though it scores 73rd 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, Woodstock ranks 8,561 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,883 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 279 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Woodstock
At the 73rd percentile nationally, Woodstock 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Woodstock (92.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
