China Spring, TX
China Spring wildfire risk explained
China Spring sits at the 85th 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 842 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks China Spring at the 84th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
China Spring's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in China Spring: 89.2% of its 842 buildings, versus 4.5% Indirect and 6.3% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

China Spring and the insurance market
China Spring's very high rating (85th 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.
