Annetta South, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Annetta South's 430 buildings earn a 90th-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Annetta South's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 90th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Annetta South's 430 counted buildings, 99.8% 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 Annetta South compares
Annetta South's risk sits at a similar level relative to Texas (84th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (90th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Annetta South ranks 3,224 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,660 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 297 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Annetta South's 90th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
With 99.8% of Annetta South 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.
More on how this number was built
Annetta South's 90th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Annetta South, see the exposure-zones guide.
