Colleyville, TX
Colleyville wildfire risk explained
Colleyville sits at the 50th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 11,447 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Colleyville at the 52nd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Colleyville's building exposure, zone by zone
76.4% of Colleyville's 11,447 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 23.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 11,447 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Colleyville ranks
Colleyville's 50th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 7th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 44 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Colleyville ranks 15,711 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,377 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,678 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Colleyville
Colleyville's elevated wildfire rating (50th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 76.4% of Colleyville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.

Every one of the two percentiles behind Colleyville's 15,711-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Colleyville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
