Anton, TX
Anton, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Anton lands at the 83rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 716 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 Anton at the 81st percentile, close to its 83rd-percentile risk score.
Anton's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 77.9% of Anton's 716 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 12% Direct and 10.1% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Anton against the rest of the country
Anton scores 83rd nationally and 68th 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, Anton ranks 5,524 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,507 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 580 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Anton and the insurance market
Anton's very high rating (83rd 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.
Hardening a home in Anton
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Anton (77.9% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Anton's 83rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Anton, see the exposure-zones guide.
