Crockett, TX
Crockett, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Crockett sits at the 77th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 3,608 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Crockett's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 79th percentile nationally.
Where Crockett's buildings actually sit
Most of Crockett's buildings (64.1%) 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.
Crockett against the rest of the country
Inside Texas, Crockett sits at just the 51st percentile even though it scores 77th 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, Crockett ranks 7,385 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,643 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 875 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Crockett
At the 77th percentile nationally, Crockett 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
Crockett's 64.1% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Crockett's figures come from
Crockett's 77th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Crockett's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
