League City, TX
How exposed is League City to wildfire?
USFS scores League City at the 79th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 39,777 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks League City at the 83rd national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where League City's buildings actually sit
League City rates 64.9% Minimal exposure against just 7.1% Direct and 28.1% Indirect — of 39,777 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 39,777 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How League City compares
Inside Texas, League City sits at just the 59th percentile even though it scores 79th 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, League City ranks 6,633 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 246 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 742 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
League City and the insurance market
At the 79th percentile nationally, League City carries the 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.
Hardening a home in League City
Even with 64.9% of League City 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.
More on how this number was built
League City's 79th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond League City, see the exposure-zones guide.
