Campti, LA
How exposed is Campti to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Campti at the 59th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 578 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Campti at the 60th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Campti's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Campti: 52.1% of its 578 buildings, versus 47.9% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Campti against the rest of the country
Campti's 74th-percentile standing inside Louisiana outpaces its 59th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Campti ranks 12,979 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,127 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 126 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Campti and the insurance market
Campti's elevated rating (59th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Campti (52.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Campti's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Campti's 12,979-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Campti's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
