Hedwig Village, TX
How exposed is Hedwig Village to wildfire?
USFS scores Hedwig Village at the 32nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 843 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 Hedwig Village at the 36th percentile, close to its 32nd-percentile risk score.
Hedwig Village's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 97% of Hedwig Village's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 3% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Hedwig Village ranks
Hedwig Village ranks lower within Texas (2nd percentile statewide) than its 32nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hedwig Village ranks 21,318 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,228 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,754 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
Hedwig Village's moderate rating (32nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Hedwig Village
Even with 97% of Hedwig Village 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.
