Glenn Heights, TX
Glenn Heights, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Glenn Heights's 5,465 buildings earn a 71st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Glenn Heights's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 70th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
45.8% of Glenn Heights's 5,465 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 30% Direct and 24.2% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone. At 5,465 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Glenn Heights against the rest of the country
Glenn Heights ranks lower within Texas (34th percentile statewide) than its 71st national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glenn Heights ranks 9,091 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,160 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,182 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Glenn Heights and the insurance market
Glenn Heights's high rating (71st 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Glenn Heights (45.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
