Moreauville, LA
Moreauville wildfire risk explained
Moreauville's 731 buildings earn a 19th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Moreauville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 19th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
69.2% of Moreauville's 731 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 30.8% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Moreauville against the rest of the country
Moreauville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Louisiana (17th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (19th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Moreauville ranks 25,620 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,321 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 406 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Moreauville
At the 19th national percentile, Moreauville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 69.2% of Moreauville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Moreauville's 19th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Moreauville, see the exposure-zones guide.
