Corral City, TX
How exposed is Corral City to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Corral City lands at the 82nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 18 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Corral City at the 82nd national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
18 buildings are counted in Corral City, and 77.8% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 22.2% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal. This is a small settlement by building count — 18 total — so these shares describe a handful of structures, not a statistical average across thousands.

Shopping for coverage in Corral City
At the 82nd percentile nationally, Corral City carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Corral City (77.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Corral City's figures come from
Corral City's 82nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. Small places like Corral City (18 buildings) are exactly where USFS's underlying data gets sparsest — see the data-quality guide for the 517 places that didn't clear the bar.
