Camp Wood, TX
Camp Wood wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Camp Wood lands at the 70th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 493 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Camp Wood at the 68th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Camp Wood's buildings actually sit
493 buildings are counted in Camp Wood, and 63.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 36.7% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Camp Wood ranks
Inside Texas, Camp Wood sits at just the 30th percentile even though it scores 70th 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, Camp Wood ranks 9,591 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,486 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,254 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 70th percentile nationally, Camp Wood carries the 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.
Hardening a home in Camp Wood
Camp Wood's 63.3% 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.
