Lewisville, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Elevated
54thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Lewisville at the 54th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 31,611 actual buildings. (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 56th percentile, close to its 54th-percentile risk score.

Lewisville's building exposure, zone by zone

31,611Total buildings
3.7%Direct exposure
19.4%Indirect exposure
76.9%Minimal exposure

Most of Lewisville's buildings (76.9% of 31,611) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 31,611 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.

How Lewisville compares

Lewisville ranks lower within Texas (9th percentile statewide) than its 54th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lewisville ranks 14,546 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 354 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,635 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.

Lewisville and the insurance market

At the 54th 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.

Hardening a home in Lewisville

Even with 76.9% of Lewisville 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.

Where Lewisville's figures come from

Lewisville's 54th-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 Lewisville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
