César Chávez, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

High
73rdpercentile nationally

César Chávez's 760 buildings earn a 73rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks César Chávez at the 74th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Where César Chávez's buildings actually sit

760Total buildings
37.2%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
62.8%Minimal exposure

USFS classifies 62.8% of César Chávez's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 37.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.

How César Chávez compares

César Chávez ranks lower within Texas (38th percentile statewide) than its 73rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, César Chávez ranks 8,674 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,021 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,115 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

César Chávez's high rating (73rd 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.

What would actually reduce this score

Even with 62.8% of César Chávez outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.

More on how this number was built

César Chávez's 73rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond César Chávez, see the exposure-zones guide.
