Addis, LA
Addis, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Addis sits at the 13th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 3,110 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Addis at the 14th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Addis's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Addis (73.5% of 3,110 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 26.5% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Addis ranks
Addis scores 13th nationally and 9th within Louisiana — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Addis ranks 27,351 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,278 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 443 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Addis's low rating (13th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Addis
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Addis (73.5% 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
Addis's 13th-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 Addis, see the exposure-zones guide.
