Romeville, LA
Romeville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Romeville at the 14th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 136 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Romeville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 14th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Romeville rates 89.7% Minimal exposure against just 8.8% Direct and 1.5% Indirect — of 136 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Romeville against the rest of the country
Romeville scores 14th nationally and 9th 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, Romeville ranks 27,260 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,443 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 442 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 14th national percentile, Romeville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Romeville
Romeville's 89.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Romeville's 14th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Romeville, see the exposure-zones guide.
