Hideaway, TX
Hideaway wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Hideaway at the 71st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,539 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hideaway at the 72nd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Hideaway's building exposure, zone by zone
1,539 buildings are counted in Hideaway, and 56.5% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 37.3% in Direct exposure or the 6.2% rated Minimal.
Where Hideaway ranks
Inside Texas, Hideaway sits at just the 34th percentile even though it scores 71st 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, Hideaway ranks 9,092 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,991 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,183 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hideaway
Hideaway's 71st-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 56.5% of Hideaway's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Hideaway's 71st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Hideaway, see the exposure-zones guide.
