Blossom, TX
How exposed is Blossom to wildfire?
Blossom sits at the 82nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 864 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Blossom at the 84th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Blossom's buildings actually sit
864 buildings are counted in Blossom, and 72.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Blossom against the rest of the country
Inside Texas, Blossom sits at just the 67th percentile even though it scores 82nd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Blossom ranks 5,650 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,042 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 598 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Blossom
Blossom's very high rating (82nd 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Blossom (72.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Blossom's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Blossom's 5,650-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Blossom's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
