Reddell, LA
Reddell wildfire risk explained
Reddell sits at the 43rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 574 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Reddell at the 45th percentile, close to its 43rd-percentile risk score.
Reddell's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 63.2% of Reddell's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 36.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Reddell against the rest of the country
Reddell scores 43rd nationally and 43rd within Louisiana — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Reddell ranks 18,087 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,181 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 279 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Reddell
Reddell's elevated rating (43rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Reddell
With 63.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Reddell gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
