China, TX
China, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores China at the 71st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 992 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, China's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 75th percentile nationally.
Where China's buildings actually sit
992 buildings are counted in China, and 48.5% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 38.2% in Direct exposure or the 13.3% rated Minimal.
How China compares
Inside Texas, China sits at just the 33rd percentile even though it scores 71st 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, China ranks 9,184 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,995 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,194 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
China and the insurance market
China's high rating (71st 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
China's 48.5% 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.
