Lawn, TX
Lawn wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Lawn at the 84th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 290 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lawn's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 81st percentile nationally.
Where Lawn's buildings actually sit
290 buildings are counted in Lawn, and 59.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 40.3% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Lawn ranks
Lawn's risk sits at a similar level relative to Texas (71st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (84th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lawn ranks 5,213 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,925 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 532 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lawn
At the 84th percentile nationally, Lawn 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Lawn (59.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
