Within Texas alone, it ranks 430 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Lake Bridgeport and the insurance market
At the 86th percentile nationally, Lake Bridgeport 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.
Hardening a home in Lake Bridgeport
