Irving, TX
How exposed is Irving to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Irving lands at the 54th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 54,488 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Irving at the 56th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Irving's buildings actually sit
Most of Irving's buildings (93.6% of 54,488) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 54,488 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Irving compares
Irving's 54th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 9th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 45 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Irving ranks 14,512 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 154 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,632 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Irving
Irving's elevated rating (54th 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 93.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Irving gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Irving's 54th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Irving, see the exposure-zones guide.
