Glen Rose, TX
Glen Rose, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Glen Rose at the 90th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 1,514 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Glen Rose at the 90th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Glen Rose's buildings actually sit
64.4% of Glen Rose's 1,514 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 35.6% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Glen Rose against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Glen Rose's 90th national percentile and its 83rd percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glen Rose ranks 3,259 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,106 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 302 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Glen Rose's very high rating (90th 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.
Hardening a home in Glen Rose
Because 64.4% of Glen Rose'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.
