Forsan, TX
Forsan, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Forsan lands at the 94th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 189 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Forsan at the 95th percentile, close to its 94th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Forsan (71.4% of 189 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 28.6% sit in the Direct zone.
How Forsan compares
Forsan scores 94th nationally and 94th within Texas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Forsan ranks 1,839 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,297 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 114 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Forsan
Forsan's 94th-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.
Hardening a home in Forsan
Because 71.4% of Forsan's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
