D'Hanis, TX
How exposed is D'Hanis to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts D'Hanis at the 77th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 561 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, D'Hanis's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 74th percentile nationally.
Where D'Hanis's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 66.8% of D'Hanis's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 33.2% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 375 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How D'Hanis compares
D'Hanis's 77th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 53rd ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 24 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, D'Hanis ranks 7,227 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,397 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 847 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 77th percentile nationally, D'Hanis 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 D'Hanis (66.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
