Crosbyton, TX
How exposed is Crosbyton to wildfire?
USFS scores Crosbyton at the 74th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,045 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Crosbyton's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 69th percentile nationally.
Where Crosbyton's buildings actually sit
Most of Crosbyton's buildings (52.5% of 1,045) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Crosbyton compares
Crosbyton's 74th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 41st ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 32 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Crosbyton ranks 8,366 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,629 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,052 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Crosbyton
Crosbyton's high rating (74th 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
Even with 52.5% of Crosbyton outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Crosbyton's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Crosbyton's 8,366-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Crosbyton's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
