Airport Road Addition wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Airport Road Addition lands at the 90th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 68 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Airport Road Addition's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 92nd percentile nationally.
Where Airport Road Addition's buildings actually sit
Of Airport Road Addition's 68 counted buildings, 100% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Airport Road Addition compares
There's little gap between Airport Road Addition's 90th national percentile and its 84th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows.

What this risk score means for insurance
At the 90th percentile nationally, Airport Road Addition 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Airport Road Addition (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
