Webb, MS
Webb wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Webb at the 15th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 298 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Webb at the 14th percentile, close to its 15th-percentile risk score.
Webb's building exposure, zone by zone
78.9% of Webb's 298 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 21.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Webb against the rest of the country
Webb scores 15th nationally and 5th within Mississippi — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Webb ranks 26,892 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,684 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 399 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Webb
At the 15th national percentile, Webb rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 78.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Webb gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
