Anacoco, LA
Anacoco wildfire risk explained
Anacoco's 620 buildings earn a 75th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Anacoco at the 76th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Anacoco's buildings actually sit
Of Anacoco's 620 counted buildings, 80.5% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Anacoco ranks
Anacoco scores 75th nationally and 88th 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, Anacoco ranks 7,913 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,556 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 57 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Anacoco
Anacoco's high rating (75th 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.
Hardening a home in Anacoco
With 80.5% of Anacoco in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.

Every one of the two percentiles behind Anacoco's 7,913-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Anacoco, see the exposure-zones guide.
