Eastland, TX
Eastland, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Eastland at the 91st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 2,546 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Eastland at the 90th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
2,546 buildings are counted in Eastland, and 70% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 30% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Eastland ranks
Eastland scores 91st nationally and 86th within Texas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eastland ranks 2,876 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,214 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 252 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Eastland and the insurance market
At the 91st percentile nationally, Eastland carries the very 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 70% of Eastland's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
