Tallulah, LA
How exposed is Tallulah to wildfire?
Tallulah sits at the 18th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,991 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tallulah's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
Where Tallulah's buildings actually sit
Tallulah rates 65.9% Minimal exposure against just 17.9% Direct and 16.2% Indirect — of 2,991 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Tallulah compares
Tallulah's risk sits at a similar level relative to Louisiana (16th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (18th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tallulah ranks 25,712 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,451 by building count (1 is largest). Within Louisiana alone, it ranks 409 of 488 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Louisiana on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Tallulah
At the 18th national percentile, Tallulah 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 Tallulah
Tallulah's 65.9% 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.
