Doyline, LA
How exposed is Doyline to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Doyline lands at the 53rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 567 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Doyline at the 54th percentile, close to its 53rd-percentile risk score.
Doyline's building exposure, zone by zone
567 buildings are counted in Doyline, and 61.6% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Doyline compares
There's little gap between Doyline's 53rd national percentile and its 64th percentile inside Louisiana, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Doyline ranks 14,747 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,296 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 178 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Doyline's elevated wildfire rating (53rd 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Doyline's 61.6% 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.
