Dundee, MS
Dundee wildfire risk explained
Dundee's 69 buildings earn a 38th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dundee at the 38th percentile, close to its 38th-percentile risk score.
Where Dundee's buildings actually sit
Of Dundee's 69 counted buildings, 58% carry Direct exposure and only 14.5% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Dundee ranks
Dundee ranks lower within Mississippi (13th percentile statewide) than its 38th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dundee ranks 19,444 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,311 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 366 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 38th national percentile, Dundee rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Dundee (58%), 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
Dundee's 38th-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 Dundee, see the exposure-zones guide.
