New Llano, LA
New Llano, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts New Llano at the 80th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 1,174 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks New Llano at the 81st national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
1,174 buildings are counted in New Llano, and 81% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 19% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
New Llano against the rest of the country
New Llano's risk sits at a similar level relative to Louisiana (92nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (80th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, New Llano ranks 6,369 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,801 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 40 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in New Llano
New Llano's high rating (80th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in New Llano (81% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
