Coahoma, MS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Coahoma's 161 buildings earn a 41st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Coahoma's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 41st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
161 buildings are counted in Coahoma, and 84.5% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 15.5% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Coahoma against the rest of the country
Inside Mississippi, Coahoma sits at just the 15th percentile even though it scores 41st 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, Coahoma ranks 18,686 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,389 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 358 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Coahoma
Coahoma's elevated wildfire rating (41st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Coahoma
Because 84.5% of Coahoma's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
