Singer, LA
Singer, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Singer sits at the 90th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 241 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Singer at the 91st national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Singer's buildings actually sit
241 buildings are counted in Singer, and 88% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Singer against the rest of the country
Singer 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, Singer ranks 3,088 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,430 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 8 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Singer and the insurance market
At the 90th percentile nationally, Singer 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.
Hardening a home in Singer
With 88% of Singer in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
