Lasara, TX
Lasara wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Lasara at the 41st national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 411 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lasara at the 40th percentile, close to its 41st-percentile risk score.
Lasara's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 45.5% of Lasara's 411 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 54.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Lasara compares
Inside Texas, Lasara sits at just the 4th percentile even though it scores 41st 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, Lasara ranks 18,735 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,023 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,728 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lasara
Lasara's elevated rating (41st 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 Lasara
Even with 54.5% of Lasara outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
