Cashion Community, TX
How exposed is Cashion Community to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Cashion Community at the 86th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 291 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Cashion Community's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 85th percentile nationally.
Cashion Community's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Cashion Community's 291 counted buildings, 86.9% carry Direct exposure and only 3.1% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Cashion Community compares
Cashion Community's risk sits at a similar level relative to Texas (76th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (86th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cashion Community ranks 4,355 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,897 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 427 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Cashion Community and the insurance market
Cashion Community's very high rating (86th 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 Cashion Community (86.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Cashion Community's 86th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Cashion Community, see the exposure-zones guide.
