Combine, TX
Combine wildfire risk explained
Combine's 1,443 buildings earn a 72nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Combine at the 73rd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Combine's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Combine's 1,443 counted buildings, 93.4% carry Direct exposure and only 0.1% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Combine ranks
Inside Texas, Combine sits at just the 37th percentile even though it scores 72nd 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, Combine ranks 8,804 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,416 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,134 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Combine
Combine's high rating (72nd 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 93.4% of Combine in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Combine's 72nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Combine, see the exposure-zones guide.
