Good Pine, LA
Good Pine, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Good Pine sits at the 62nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 210 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Good Pine at the 63rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Good Pine's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 61.9% of Good Pine's 210 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 38.1% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Good Pine ranks
Good Pine's 78th-percentile standing inside Louisiana outpaces its 62nd national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Good Pine ranks 11,851 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,482 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 108 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Good Pine and the insurance market
Good Pine's 62nd-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 61.9% of Good Pine'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.
