Lake Tanglewood, TX
Lake Tanglewood, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lake Tanglewood sits at the 98th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 598 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lake Tanglewood at the 99th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lake Tanglewood's building exposure, zone by zone
598 buildings are counted in Lake Tanglewood, and 47.8% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 19.1% rated Minimal.
Lake Tanglewood against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Lake Tanglewood's 98th national percentile and its 99th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lake Tanglewood ranks 582 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,871 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 22 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lake Tanglewood
Lake Tanglewood's very high rating (98th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Lake Tanglewood (47.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
