Lambert, MS
Lambert wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Lambert at the 61st national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 628 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lambert at the 59th percentile, close to its 61st-percentile risk score.
Lambert's building exposure, zone by zone
71% of Lambert's 628 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 29% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Lambert compares
Inside Mississippi, Lambert sits at just the 36th percentile even though it scores 61st nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lambert ranks 12,385 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,468 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 270 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lambert
Lambert's high rating (61st percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Lambert
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Lambert (71% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
