Aguilares, TX
Aguilares, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Aguilares's 53 buildings earn a 82nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Aguilares at the 78th percentile, close to its 82nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
100% of Aguilares's 53 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 53 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Aguilares ranks
Inside Texas, Aguilares sits at just the 66th percentile even though it scores 82nd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Aguilares ranks 5,712 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,858 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 613 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Aguilares and the insurance market
At the 82nd percentile nationally, Aguilares carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
With 100% of Aguilares 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 Aguilares's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Aguilares's 5,712-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Aguilares's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
