Woodstock, GA
Woodstock, GA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Woodstock lands at the 63rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 10,271 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Woodstock's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 66th percentile nationally.
Woodstock's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Woodstock's buildings (48.4%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone. At 10,271 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Woodstock ranks
Woodstock ranks lower within Georgia (31st percentile statewide) than its 63rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodstock ranks 11,723 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,561 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 468 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Woodstock's high rating (63rd 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Woodstock (48.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
