Cedar Point, TX
Cedar Point, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Cedar Point lands at the 68th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 597 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Cedar Point at the 69th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Cedar Point's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Cedar Point's buildings (57%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Cedar Point against the rest of the country
Inside Texas, Cedar Point sits at just the 27th percentile even though it scores 68th 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, Cedar Point ranks 9,971 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,888 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,305 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Cedar Point and the insurance market
Cedar Point's high rating (68th 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.
Hardening a home in Cedar Point
Cedar Point's 57% 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.
