Cockrell Hill, TX
Cockrell Hill, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Cockrell Hill at the 55th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,190 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Cockrell Hill's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 56th percentile nationally.
Where Cockrell Hill's buildings actually sit
Only 15.3% of Cockrell Hill's 1,190 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 84.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Cockrell Hill against the rest of the country
Cockrell Hill's 55th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 10th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 45 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cockrell Hill ranks 14,292 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,709 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,619 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Cockrell Hill's elevated rating (55th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 84.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Cockrell Hill gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
