Hallsburg, TX
Hallsburg, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Hallsburg at the 75th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 339 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hallsburg at the 74th percentile, close to its 75th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Hallsburg's 339 counted buildings, 98.2% carry Direct exposure and only 1.2% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Hallsburg against the rest of the country
Hallsburg ranks lower within Texas (47th percentile statewide) than its 75th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hallsburg ranks 7,861 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,609 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 960 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
At the 75th percentile nationally, Hallsburg carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Hallsburg's 98.2% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Hallsburg's 75th-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 Hallsburg, see the exposure-zones guide.
