Hilshire Village, TX
Hilshire Village wildfire risk explained
Hilshire Village's 368 buildings earn a 33rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hilshire Village's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 36th percentile nationally.
Where Hilshire Village's buildings actually sit
92.4% of Hilshire Village's 368 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 7.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Hilshire Village ranks
Hilshire Village's 33rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 2nd ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 30 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hilshire Village ranks 21,255 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,918 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,752 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
Hilshire Village's moderate rating (33rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 92.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Hilshire Village gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
