Reeves, LA
Reeves wildfire risk explained
Reeves's 170 buildings earn a 90th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Reeves at the 92nd percentile, close to its 90th-percentile risk score.
Reeves's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Reeves's 170 counted buildings, 50.6% 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.
Reeves against the rest of the country
Reeves scores 90th nationally and 99th 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, Reeves ranks 3,087 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,028 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 7 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Reeves
At the 90th percentile nationally, Reeves carries the very 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.
