Keller, TX
Keller, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Keller's 16,942 buildings earn a 59th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Keller's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 60th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Keller rates 76.8% Minimal exposure against just 23.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 16,942 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 16,942 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Keller ranks
Keller's 59th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 13th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 46 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Keller ranks 12,841 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 855 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,555 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Keller
At the 59th national percentile, Keller rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 76.8% of Keller outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
