Devers's building exposure, zone by zone

Where Devers ranks
Inside Texas, Devers sits at just the 66th 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, Devers ranks 5,686 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,106 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 608 of 1,795 places by risk.

What this risk score means for insurance
Devers's very high rating (82nd 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.
