Edroy, TX
Edroy wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Edroy at the 80th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 351 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Edroy at the 81st national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Edroy's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Edroy's 351 counted buildings, 62.4% carry Direct exposure and only 31.9% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Edroy against the rest of the country
Edroy ranks lower within Texas (61st percentile statewide) than its 80th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edroy ranks 6,315 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,291 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 698 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Edroy and the insurance market
At the 80th percentile nationally, Edroy 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.
Hardening a home in Edroy
Because Direct exposure dominates in Edroy (62.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Edroy's figures come from
Edroy's 80th-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 Edroy's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
