Lisbon, LA
Lisbon, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Lisbon at the 47th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 188 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lisbon at the 48th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lisbon's building exposure, zone by zone
100% of Lisbon's 188 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 188 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Lisbon compares
Lisbon scores 47th nationally and 51st 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, Lisbon ranks 16,670 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,318 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 239 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 47th national percentile, Lisbon rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 100% of Lisbon in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
