Renova, MS
How exposed is Renova to wildfire?
Renova's 314 buildings earn a 14th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Renova at the 15th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Renova's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Renova's buildings (78% of 314) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Renova ranks
Renova's risk sits at a similar level relative to Mississippi (4th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (14th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Renova ranks 27,201 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,253 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 402 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Renova
At the 14th national percentile, Renova rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 78% of Renova outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
