Edgecliff Village, TX
How exposed is Edgecliff Village to wildfire?
Edgecliff Village sits at the 50th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,446 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Edgecliff Village's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 52nd percentile nationally.
Edgecliff Village's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 12.5% of Edgecliff Village's 1,446 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 87.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Edgecliff Village against the rest of the country
Inside Texas, Edgecliff Village sits at just the 6th percentile even though it scores 50th 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, Edgecliff Village ranks 15,932 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,407 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,687 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 50th national percentile, Edgecliff Village rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 87.5% of Edgecliff Village outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Edgecliff Village's figures come from
Edgecliff Village's 50th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Edgecliff Village's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
