Four Corners, TX
Four Corners wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Four Corners at the 46th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 3,645 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Four Corners's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 48th percentile nationally.
Where Four Corners's buildings actually sit
95.1% of Four Corners's 3,645 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 4.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Four Corners against the rest of the country
Inside Texas, Four Corners sits at just the 5th percentile even though it scores 46th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Four Corners ranks 17,067 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,594 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,708 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Four Corners
Four Corners's elevated wildfire rating (46th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Four Corners
With 95.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Four Corners gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
