Jacinto City, TX
How exposed is Jacinto City to wildfire?
USFS scores Jacinto City at the 52nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 3,610 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Jacinto City at the 54th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Jacinto City rates 98.6% Minimal exposure against just 1.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 3,610 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Jacinto City compares
Inside Texas, Jacinto City sits at just the 7th percentile even though it scores 52nd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jacinto City ranks 15,047 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,642 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,665 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Jacinto City and the insurance market
Jacinto City's elevated wildfire rating (52nd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Jacinto City's 98.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Jacinto City's 52nd-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 Jacinto City, see the exposure-zones guide.
