Hypertension: increases the risk. Really high (> 200 systolic, > 120 diastolic) BP increases it more. Family history increases it about 10 fold. but.... lifetime risk just isn't very high; low with treated blood pressure. A CT of the head can show if there is a vessel at risk of blowing up (aneurysm); but many hemorrhages occur in strokes without a prior aneurysm
