La Blanca, TX
La Blanca, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
La Blanca sits at the 60th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,168 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks La Blanca at the 61st national percentile — 1 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
Direct exposure dominates in La Blanca: 60.9% of its 1,168 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 39.1% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

La Blanca ranks lower within Texas (14th percentile statewide) than its 60th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
La Blanca's 60.9% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where La Blanca's figures come from
