Biggersville, MS
Biggersville, MS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Biggersville's 195 buildings earn a 67th-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, Biggersville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 70th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Biggersville's 195 counted buildings, 94.9% 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.
How Biggersville compares
Inside Mississippi, Biggersville sits at just the 48th percentile even though it scores 67th 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, Biggersville ranks 10,462 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,030 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 218 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
Biggersville and the insurance market
Biggersville's high rating (67th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Biggersville (94.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Biggersville's figures come from
Biggersville's 67th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Biggersville's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
