Crane, TX
How exposed is Crane to wildfire?
Crane's 1,959 buildings earn a 82nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Crane at the 80th percentile, close to its 82nd-percentile risk score.
Crane's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Crane's buildings (93.3%) 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.
How Crane compares
Inside Texas, Crane sits at just the 65th percentile even though it scores 82nd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Crane ranks 5,809 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,593 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 628 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Crane
At the 82nd percentile nationally, Crane 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Crane (93.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
