Woodland, MS
Woodland, MS's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Woodland's 134 buildings earn a 66th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Woodland at the 67th percentile, close to its 66th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Woodland: 59.7% of its 134 buildings, versus 40.3% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Woodland against the rest of the country
Woodland ranks lower within Mississippi (46th percentile statewide) than its 66th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodland ranks 10,871 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,545 by building count (1 is largest). Within Mississippi alone, it ranks 228 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Mississippi on its state page.
Woodland and the insurance market
Woodland's high rating (66th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
With 59.7% of Woodland in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Woodland's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Woodland's 10,871-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Woodland's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
