Del Sol, TX
How exposed is Del Sol to wildfire?
Del Sol sits at the 69th 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 161 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Del Sol at the 71st percentile, close to its 69th-percentile risk score.
Where Del Sol's buildings actually sit
161 buildings are counted in Del Sol, and 99.4% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0.6% rated Minimal.
How Del Sol compares
Del Sol's 69th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 29th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 40 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Del Sol ranks 9,754 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,409 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,276 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Del Sol and the insurance market
At the 69th percentile nationally, Del Sol 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Del Sol (99.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
