Corrigan wildfire risk explained

High
76thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Corrigan at the 76th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 890 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Corrigan's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 77th percentile nationally.

890Total buildings
37.1%Direct exposure
62.9%Indirect exposure

How Corrigan compares

Corrigan ranks lower within Texas (50th percentile statewide) than its 76th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Corrigan ranks 7,448 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,816 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 892 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.

Corrigan and the insurance market

At the 76th percentile nationally, Corrigan carries the 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

Because 62.9% of Corrigan's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
