Falman, TX

Falman, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
88thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Falman at the 88th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 48 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Falman at the 87th percentile, close to its 88th-percentile risk score.

Where Falman's buildings actually sit

48Total buildings
89.6%Direct exposure
10.4%Indirect exposure

Direct exposure dominates in Falman: 89.6% of its 48 buildings, versus 10.4% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

How Falman compares

There's little gap between Falman's 88th national percentile and its 80th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Falman ranks 3,917 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,989 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 370 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.

Falman and the insurance market

Falman's very high rating (88th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.

What would actually reduce this score

With 89.6% of Falman in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
