Logansport, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Elevated
55thpercentile nationally

Logansport's 885 buildings earn a 55th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Logansport's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 56th percentile nationally.

Where Logansport's buildings actually sit

50.3%Direct exposure
49.7%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Of Logansport's 885 counted buildings, 50.3% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.

Logansport against the rest of the country

Logansport and the insurance market

At the 55th national percentile, Logansport 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 50.3% of Logansport 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.

Where Logansport's figures come from

Logansport's 55th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Logansport's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
