Gluckstadt, MS
Gluckstadt, MS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Gluckstadt at the 58th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 1,505 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Gluckstadt's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 61st percentile nationally.
Where Gluckstadt's buildings actually sit
Most of Gluckstadt's buildings (62.5%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Gluckstadt ranks
Gluckstadt's 58th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 29th ranking inside Mississippi does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 29 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Gluckstadt ranks 13,241 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,150 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 297 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Gluckstadt
Gluckstadt's elevated wildfire rating (58th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 62.5% of Gluckstadt's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
