Las Palmas, TX
Las Palmas wildfire risk explained
Las Palmas's 60 buildings earn a 86th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Las Palmas's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 85th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Las Palmas's 60 counted buildings, 100% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Las Palmas compares
There's little gap between Las Palmas's 86th national percentile and its 76th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Las Palmas ranks 4,333 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,665 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 425 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
Las Palmas's very high rating (86th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 100% of Las Palmas in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Las Palmas's 4,333-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Las Palmas, see the exposure-zones guide.
