Tullos, LA
How exposed is Tullos to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Tullos at the 57th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 328 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Tullos at the 58th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
