Wrens, GA
How exposed is Wrens to wildfire?
Wrens's 1,307 buildings earn a 61st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Wrens's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 61st percentile nationally.
Where Wrens's buildings actually sit
59.5% of Wrens's 1,307 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 40.5% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Wrens compares
Inside Georgia, Wrens sits at just the 25th percentile even though it scores 61st 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, Wrens ranks 12,190 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,040 by building count (1 is largest). Within Georgia alone, it ranks 505 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Wrens and the insurance market
At the 61st percentile nationally, Wrens 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Wrens (59.5% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
