Morse, LA
Morse, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Morse sits at the 20th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 440 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Morse's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 21st percentile nationally.
Where Morse's buildings actually sit
Morse rates 86.6% Minimal exposure against just 13.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 440 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Morse ranks
There's little gap between Morse's 20th national percentile and its 20th percentile inside Louisiana, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Morse ranks 25,178 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,458 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 392 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 20th national percentile, Morse rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Morse
With 86.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Morse gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Morse's 20th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Morse, see the exposure-zones guide.
