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

High
76thpercentile nationally

Floresville's 3,687 buildings earn a 76th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Floresville at the 77th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

43.3%Direct exposure

0%Minimal exposure

56.7% of Floresville's 3,687 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 43.3% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.

Floresville against the rest of the country

What this risk score means for insurance

Floresville's high rating (76th 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 ember exposure the dominant pattern in Floresville (56.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
