Bryceland, LA
How exposed is Bryceland to wildfire?
USFS scores Bryceland at the 50th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 126 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bryceland at the 50th percentile, close to its 50th-percentile risk score.
Where Bryceland's buildings actually sit
Of Bryceland's 126 counted buildings, 100% 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.
Bryceland against the rest of the country
Bryceland scores 50th nationally and 57th 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, Bryceland ranks 15,784 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,894 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 209 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Bryceland
At the 50th national percentile, Bryceland rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Bryceland's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
