Jordan Hill, LA
Jordan Hill wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Jordan Hill lands at the 59th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 158 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Jordan Hill's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 60th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
158 buildings are counted in Jordan Hill, and 100% 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.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Jordan Hill (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
