Crowley, TX
Crowley, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Crowley at the 71st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 6,536 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Crowley at the 70th percentile, close to its 71st-percentile risk score.
Crowley's building exposure, zone by zone
6,536 buildings are counted in Crowley, and 85.2% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 14.8% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal. At 6,536 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Crowley against the rest of the country
Inside Texas, Crowley sits at just the 34th percentile even though it scores 71st 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, Crowley ranks 9,059 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,655 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,177 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Crowley
At the 71st percentile nationally, Crowley 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Crowley (85.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Crowley's figures come from
Crowley's 71st-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 Crowley's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
