Aspermont, TX
Aspermont, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Aspermont lands at the 87th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 892 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Aspermont at the 83rd national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Aspermont's buildings actually sit
892 buildings are counted in Aspermont, and 79.5% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 20.5% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Aspermont compares
Aspermont's risk sits at a similar level relative to Texas (77th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (87th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way.

Within Texas alone, it ranks 408 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Aspermont
Aspermont's very high rating (87th 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
Aspermont's 79.5% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
