Lewisville, NC
How exposed is Lewisville to wildfire?
Lewisville sits at the 50th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 6,068 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lewisville at the 53rd percentile, close to its 50th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Lewisville's 6,068 counted buildings, 89% carry Direct exposure and only 1.1% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first. At 6,068 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Lewisville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Lewisville's 50th national percentile and its 39th percentile inside North Carolina, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lewisville ranks 15,674 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,853 by building count (1 is largest). Within North Carolina alone, it ranks 475 of 772 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for North Carolina on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 50th national percentile, Lewisville rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Lewisville (89%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Lewisville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Lewisville's 15,674-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Lewisville's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
