Hollandale, MS
Hollandale, MS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hollandale sits at the 11th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,207 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hollandale at the 11th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
Where Hollandale's buildings actually sit
Hollandale rates 67.2% Minimal exposure against just 28.7% Direct and 4.1% Indirect — of 1,207 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Hollandale compares
Hollandale's risk sits at a similar level relative to Mississippi (2nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (11th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hollandale ranks 27,960 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,606 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 410 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 11th national percentile, Hollandale rates low 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
Hollandale's 67.2% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
