Angleton, TX
Angleton, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Angleton lands at the 87th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 8,019 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 Angleton at the 91st percentile, close to its 87th-percentile risk score.
Where Angleton's buildings actually sit
53.9% of Angleton's 8,019 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 24.7% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 8,019 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Angleton against the rest of the country
Angleton scores 87th nationally and 78th 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, Angleton ranks 4,104 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,105 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 395 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Angleton
At the 87th percentile nationally, Angleton 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 53.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Angleton gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Angleton's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Angleton's 4,104-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Angleton's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
