Fronton, TX
How exposed is Fronton to wildfire?
USFS scores Fronton at the 91st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 97 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fronton at the 91st national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Fronton's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Fronton: 100% of its 97 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Fronton ranks
There's little gap between Fronton's 91st national percentile and its 88th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fronton ranks 2,750 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,203 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 228 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Fronton and the insurance market
Fronton's very high rating (91st 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Fronton (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Fronton's 91st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Fronton, see the exposure-zones guide.
