How Grand Point compares
Grand Point's risk sits at a similar level relative to Louisiana (13th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (15th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Grand Point ranks 26,686 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,835 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 427 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Grand Point and the insurance market
Grand Point's low wildfire rating (15th 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Grand Point (61% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Grand Point's 15th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Grand Point, see the exposure-zones guide.
