How exposed is Green Valley Farms to wildfire?

Elevated
54thpercentile nationally

Green Valley Farms's 385 buildings earn a 54th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Green Valley Farms at the 54th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

385Total buildings
29.4%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
70.7%Minimal exposure

70.7% of Green Valley Farms's 385 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 29.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.

Where Green Valley Farms ranks

Inside Texas, Green Valley Farms sits at just the 9th percentile even though it scores 54th 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, Green Valley Farms ranks 14,668 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,530 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,638 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.

Green Valley Farms and the insurance market

At the 54th national percentile, Green Valley Farms rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Even with 70.7% of Green Valley Farms outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
