Wrightsville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 52% of Wrightsville's 1,224 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 48% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Wrightsville compares
Inside Georgia, Wrightsville sits at just the 44th percentile even though it scores 65th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

Within Georgia alone, it ranks 382 of 669 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Georgia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Wrightsville
Wrightsville's high rating (65th 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 Wrightsville (52% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Wrightsville's 65th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Wrightsville, see the exposure-zones guide.
