Corinth, TX
How exposed is Corinth to wildfire?
USFS scores Corinth at the 59th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 7,607 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Corinth's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 60th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Corinth rates 74.2% Minimal exposure against just 14.7% Direct and 11.1% Indirect — of 7,607 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 7,607 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Corinth compares
Corinth's 59th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 13th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 46 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Corinth ranks 12,871 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,247 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,559 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
Corinth's elevated rating (59th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Corinth
Even with 74.2% of Corinth 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.
