Eros, LA
Eros, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Eros sits at the 56th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 99 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Eros at the 55th percentile, close to its 56th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Eros: 79.8% of its 99 buildings, versus 20.2% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Eros ranks
Eros's risk sits at a similar level relative to Louisiana (67th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (56th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eros ranks 14,022 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,085 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 161 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
At the 56th national percentile, Eros rates elevated 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
Eros's 79.8% 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.
More on how this number was built
Eros's 56th-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 Eros, see the exposure-zones guide.
