Lakewood Village, TX
Lakewood Village wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Lakewood Village lands at the 59th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 265 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lakewood Village 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
Of Lakewood Village's 265 counted buildings, 51.3% carry Direct exposure and only 6.8% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Lakewood Village ranks
Inside Texas, Lakewood Village sits at just the 13th percentile even though it scores 59th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lakewood Village ranks 12,842 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,685 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,556 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
Lakewood Village's elevated rating (59th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Lakewood Village
Because Direct exposure dominates in Lakewood Village (51.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
