La Pryor, TX
La Pryor wildfire risk explained
La Pryor sits at the 56th 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 1,046 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, La Pryor's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 54th percentile nationally.
La Pryor's building exposure, zone by zone
1,046 buildings are counted in La Pryor, and 84.2% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 9.1% in Direct exposure or the 6.7% rated Minimal.
Where La Pryor ranks
La Pryor ranks lower within Texas (10th percentile statewide) than its 56th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, La Pryor ranks 13,946 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,620 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,608 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
At the 56th national percentile, La Pryor rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in La Pryor
La Pryor's 84.2% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
La Pryor's 56th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond La Pryor, see the exposure-zones guide.
