Glendora, MS
How exposed is Glendora to wildfire?
Glendora's 52 buildings earn a 39th-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 Glendora at the 39th percentile, close to its 39th-percentile risk score.
Where Glendora's buildings actually sit
80.8% of Glendora's 52 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 19.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Glendora against the rest of the country
Inside Mississippi, Glendora sits at just the 14th percentile even though it scores 39th 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, Glendora ranks 19,163 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,877 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 363 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Glendora
Glendora's moderate rating (39th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 80.8% of Glendora 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.
