Hall Summit, LA
Hall Summit, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Hall Summit lands at the 56th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 190 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hall Summit at the 57th percentile, close to its 56th-percentile risk score.
Where Hall Summit's buildings actually sit
190 buildings are counted in Hall Summit, and 83.2% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Hall Summit against the rest of the country
Hall Summit scores 56th nationally and 68th within Louisiana — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hall Summit ranks 13,835 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,246 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 156 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Hall Summit's elevated wildfire rating (56th 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.
Hardening a home in Hall Summit

More on how this number was built
Hall Summit's 56th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Hall Summit, see the exposure-zones guide.
