Kennedale, TX
Kennedale, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Kennedale at the 75th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 3,859 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Kennedale at the 74th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Kennedale's buildings actually sit
Only 36.7% of Kennedale's 3,859 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 63.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Kennedale ranks
Inside Texas, Kennedale sits at just the 47th percentile even though it scores 75th 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, Kennedale ranks 7,802 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,377 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 952 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
Kennedale's high rating (75th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 63.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Kennedale gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
