Haslet, TX
Haslet wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Haslet at the 72nd national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 1,420 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Haslet at the 70th percentile, close to its 72nd-percentile risk score.
Haslet's building exposure, zone by zone
61.3% of Haslet's 1,420 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 870 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0.3% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 38.5% are Minimal.
Haslet against the rest of the country
Haslet ranks lower within Texas (35th percentile statewide) than its 72nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Haslet ranks 8,988 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,541 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,167 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Haslet
Haslet's high rating (72nd 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 Haslet (61.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
