Standing Pine, MS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Standing Pine at the 72nd national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 228 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Standing Pine at the 75th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
228 buildings are counted in Standing Pine, and 100% 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.
