Louin, MS
Louin, MS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Louin sits at the 69th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 302 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Louin at the 72nd national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Louin's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 94.4% of Louin's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 5.6% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 285 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Louin against the rest of the country
Inside Mississippi, Louin sits at just the 53rd percentile even though it scores 69th 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, Louin ranks 9,835 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,578 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 197 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Louin
At the 69th percentile nationally, Louin carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
