Iowa Park, TX
Iowa Park, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Iowa Park's 3,572 buildings earn a 94th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Iowa Park at the 93rd percentile, close to its 94th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Iowa Park's buildings (80.6%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Iowa Park ranks
Iowa Park's risk sits at a similar level relative to Texas (94th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (94th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Iowa Park ranks 1,776 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,689 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 110 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
Iowa Park's very high rating (94th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Iowa Park
Iowa Park's 80.6% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
