Springhill, LA
Springhill, LA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Springhill sits at the 60th 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 3,038 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 Springhill at the 61st percentile, close to its 60th-percentile risk score.
Where Springhill's buildings actually sit
Most of Springhill's buildings (71.7%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Springhill ranks
Springhill's 76th-percentile standing inside Louisiana outpaces its 60th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Springhill ranks 12,604 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,375 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 121 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Springhill and the insurance market
Springhill's elevated rating (60th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 71.7% of Springhill's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
