Industry, TX
Industry, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Industry lands at the 62nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 346 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Industry at the 63rd percentile, close to its 62nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
81.5% of Industry's 346 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 282 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 18.5% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Industry ranks
Industry ranks lower within Texas (17th percentile statewide) than its 62nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Industry ranks 11,989 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,438 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,491 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Industry and the insurance market
Industry's 62nd-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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Industry's 81.5% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Industry's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Industry's 11,989-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Industry's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
