Woodville wildfire risk explained

High
73rdpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Woodville lands at the 73rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 217 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Woodville at the 76th national percentile — 2 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

217Total buildings
100%Direct exposure

0%Minimal exposure

Direct exposure dominates in Woodville: 100% of its 217 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

Woodville against the rest of the country

There's little gap between Woodville's 73rd national percentile and its 77th percentile inside Georgia, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows.

Within Georgia alone, it ranks 155 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Woodville

Woodville's high rating (73rd 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 Woodville (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
