Olla, LA
Olla, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Olla at the 61st national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 937 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Olla's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 61st percentile nationally.
Olla's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Olla's 937 counted buildings, 52.9% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Olla ranks
Olla's 76th-percentile standing inside Louisiana outpaces its 61st national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Olla ranks 12,384 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,411 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 118 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Olla
At the 61st percentile nationally, Olla 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Olla's 52.9% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
