What "at risk" means for the buildings here

Dubberly against the rest of the country
Dubberly's risk sits at a similar level relative to Louisiana (56th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (50th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way.

What this risk score means for insurance
Dubberly's elevated rating (50th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
