Littlefield, TX
Littlefield, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Littlefield's 3,645 buildings earn a 87th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Littlefield at the 86th percentile, close to its 87th-percentile risk score.
Littlefield's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 52.8% of Littlefield's 3,645 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 9% Direct and 38.2% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Littlefield compares
There's little gap between Littlefield's 87th national percentile and its 77th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Littlefield ranks 4,265 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,595 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 418 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Littlefield
At the 87th percentile nationally, Littlefield carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
