Coupland, TX
How exposed is Coupland to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Coupland lands at the 59th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 303 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Coupland at the 57th percentile, close to its 59th-percentile risk score.
Where Coupland's buildings actually sit
Of Coupland's 303 counted buildings, 63.4% carry Direct exposure and only 1% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Coupland compares
Coupland ranks lower within Texas (13th percentile statewide) than its 59th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high.

Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,563 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Coupland and the insurance market
At the 59th national percentile, Coupland rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Coupland
With 63.4% of Coupland 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.
