Woodville, AL
Woodville, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Woodville at the 57th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 572 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Woodville at the 60th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Woodville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 77.1% of Woodville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 22.9% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 441 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Woodville ranks
Inside Alabama, Woodville sits at just the 15th percentile even though it scores 57th 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, Woodville ranks 13,665 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,207 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 501 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
Woodville's elevated rating (57th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 77.1% of Woodville in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Woodville's 57th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Woodville, see the exposure-zones guide.
