Iago, TX
Iago wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Iago at the 79th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 116 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 Iago at the 82nd percentile, close to its 79th-percentile risk score.
Iago's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Iago: 81% of its 116 buildings, versus 19% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Iago against the rest of the country
Iago ranks lower within Texas (58th percentile statewide) than its 79th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Iago ranks 6,724 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,388 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 749 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Iago
At the 79th percentile nationally, Iago 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 81% of Iago in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Iago's 79th-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 Iago, see the exposure-zones guide.
