Lingleville, TX
Lingleville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Lingleville at the 92nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 169 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lingleville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 92nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Lingleville's 169 counted buildings, 97.6% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Lingleville ranks
Lingleville scores 92nd nationally and 90th within Texas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lingleville ranks 2,406 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,085 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 180 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lingleville

Hardening a home in Lingleville
Lingleville's 97.6% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
