El Camino Angosto, TX
El Camino Angosto, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores El Camino Angosto at the 65th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 94 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, El Camino Angosto's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 66th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of El Camino Angosto's 94 counted buildings, 94.7% carry Direct exposure and only 5.3% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How El Camino Angosto compares
Inside Texas, El Camino Angosto sits at just the 21st percentile even though it scores 65th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,424 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
El Camino Angosto and the insurance market
El Camino Angosto's 65th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in El Camino Angosto (94.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
