Justin, TX
How exposed is Justin to wildfire?
Justin's 2,215 buildings earn a 77th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Justin at the 76th percentile, close to its 77th-percentile risk score.
Justin's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Justin's buildings (72.7%) 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 Justin ranks
Justin's 77th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 53rd ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 25 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Justin ranks 7,229 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,897 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 849 of 1,795 places by risk.

Justin and the insurance market
Justin's high rating (77th 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 Justin
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Justin (72.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
