Kingsland, TX
Kingsland wildfire risk explained
Kingsland's 5,495 buildings earn a 82nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Kingsland at the 81st national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Kingsland's buildings actually sit
Of Kingsland's 5,495 counted buildings, 59.2% carry Direct exposure and only 3.2% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first. At 5,495 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Kingsland ranks
Kingsland ranks lower within Texas (67th percentile statewide) than its 82nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Kingsland ranks 5,652 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,140 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 600 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Kingsland
At the 82nd percentile nationally, Kingsland carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
With 59.2% of Kingsland in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Kingsland's figures come from
Kingsland's 82nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Kingsland's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
