Haynesville, LA
Haynesville, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Haynesville at the 53rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,470 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Haynesville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 54th percentile nationally.
Haynesville's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Haynesville (78.2% of 1,470 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 21.8% sit in the Direct zone.
Haynesville against the rest of the country
Haynesville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Louisiana (64th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (53rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Haynesville ranks 14,716 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,310 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 177 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
At the 53rd national percentile, Haynesville rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 78.2% of Haynesville'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.
