Alice, TX
How exposed is Alice to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Alice lands at the 68th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 8,372 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Alice at the 68th percentile, close to its 68th-percentile risk score.
Alice's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 10.6% of Alice's 8,372 buildings carry Direct exposure and 31.6% carry Indirect; the remaining 57.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 8,372 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Alice ranks
Inside Texas, Alice sits at just the 26th percentile even though it scores 68th 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, Alice ranks 10,158 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,986 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,328 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Alice
Alice's high rating (68th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 57.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Alice gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Alice's 68th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Alice, see the exposure-zones guide.
