Donna, TX
Donna, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Donna's 6,533 buildings earn a 58th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Donna at the 59th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Donna's buildings (92.6% of 6,533) 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. At 6,533 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Donna ranks
Inside Texas, Donna sits at just the 12th percentile even though it scores 58th 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, Donna ranks 13,190 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,659 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,573 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Donna and the insurance market
Donna's elevated rating (58th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Donna's 92.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Donna's 58th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Donna, see the exposure-zones guide.
