Corsicana, TX
How exposed is Corsicana to wildfire?
Corsicana sits at the 81st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 10,630 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Corsicana's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 81st percentile nationally.
Where Corsicana's buildings actually sit
Most of Corsicana's buildings (66.4%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone. At 10,630 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Corsicana ranks
Corsicana's 81st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 62nd ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 18 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Corsicana ranks 6,156 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,499 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 676 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
Corsicana's very high rating (81st 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 66.4% of Corsicana'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.
More on how this number was built
Corsicana's 81st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Corsicana, see the exposure-zones guide.
