Citrus City, TX
Citrus City wildfire risk explained
Citrus City 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 1,099 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Citrus City's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 87th percentile nationally.
Citrus City's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Citrus City's 1,099 counted buildings, 84.8% carry Direct exposure and only 14.9% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Citrus City ranks
Citrus City scores 85th nationally and 74th within Texas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Citrus City ranks 4,613 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,283 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 461 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Citrus City and the insurance market
Citrus City'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.
