Bushland, TX
Bushland, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Bushland sits at the 91st 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 1,428 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bushland at the 90th percentile, close to its 91st-percentile risk score.
Bushland's building exposure, zone by zone
1,428 buildings are counted in Bushland, and 84.2% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 7.3% rated Minimal.
Where Bushland ranks
Bushland's risk sits at a similar level relative to Texas (86th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (91st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bushland ranks 2,906 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,489 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 257 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
At the 91st percentile nationally, Bushland 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 84.2% of Bushland 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.
