USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Flowella at the 92nd percentile, close to its 90th-percentile risk score.
Where Flowella's buildings actually sit
100% of Flowella's 72 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 72 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Flowella compares
There's little gap between Flowella's 90th national percentile and its 84th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Flowella ranks 3,070 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,228 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 281 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Flowella
Flowella's 90th-percentile, very 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.
