Leming, TX
Leming, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Leming's 638 buildings earn a 80th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Leming at the 81st national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Leming's building exposure, zone by zone
638 buildings are counted in Leming, and 60.8% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Leming against the rest of the country
Leming ranks lower within Texas (61st percentile statewide) than its 80th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Leming ranks 6,284 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,372 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 695 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Leming
Leming's very high rating (80th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 60.8% of Leming 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.
Where Leming's figures come from
Leming's 80th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Leming's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
