Anahuac wildfire risk explained

Very High
92ndpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Anahuac at the 92nd national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 1,230 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 Anahuac at the 90th percentile, close to its 92nd-percentile risk score.

Anahuac's building exposure, zone by zone

1,230Total buildings
25.7%Direct exposure
13.1%Indirect exposure
61.2%Minimal exposure

Only 25.7% of Anahuac's 1,230 buildings carry Direct exposure and 13.1% carry Indirect; the remaining 61.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.

How Anahuac compares

Anahuac scores 92nd nationally and 88th within Texas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Anahuac ranks 2,686 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,474 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 213 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.

Anahuac and the insurance market

At the 92nd percentile nationally, Anahuac 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 61.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Anahuac 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

Anahuac's 92nd-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 Anahuac, see the exposure-zones guide.
