Glen Allan, MS
Glen Allan, MS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Glen Allan lands at the 30th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 272 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Glen Allan at the 30th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Glen Allan's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 58.5% of Glen Allan's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 38.2% Direct and 3.3% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Glen Allan compares
Inside Mississippi, Glen Allan sits at just the 9th percentile even though it scores 30th 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, Glen Allan ranks 22,089 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,442 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 381 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
Glen Allan and the insurance market
Glen Allan's moderate wildfire rating (30th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 58.5% of Glen Allan outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
