Leon Valley, TX
Leon Valley, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Leon Valley at the 52nd national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 4,357 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Leon Valley's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 54th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
92.8% of Leon Valley's 4,357 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 7.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Leon Valley compares
Leon Valley ranks lower within Texas (7th percentile statewide) than its 52nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Leon Valley ranks 15,048 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,926 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,666 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Leon Valley and the insurance market
Leon Valley's elevated rating (52nd 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 Leon Valley
Even with 92.8% of Leon Valley 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.
