Center Point, LA
Center Point, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Center Point's 353 buildings earn a 68th-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 Center Point at the 70th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Center Point's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 100% of Center Point's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 353 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Center Point against the rest of the country
Center Point's 84th-percentile standing inside Louisiana outpaces its 68th 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, Center Point ranks 10,019 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,231 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 79 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Center Point
Center Point's high rating (68th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Center Point (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Center Point's 68th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Center Point, see the exposure-zones guide.
