Mansfield, LA
How exposed is Mansfield to wildfire?
USFS scores Mansfield at the 57th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 2,443 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Mansfield at the 56th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Mansfield's building exposure, zone by zone
73.6% of Mansfield's 2,443 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 26.4% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.

Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 151 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Mansfield
Mansfield's elevated wildfire rating (57th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
