Lopeño, TX
Lopeño, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lopeño's 85 buildings earn a 93rd-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lopeño at the 94th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lopeño's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 54.1% of Lopeño's 85 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 45.9% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Lopeño ranks
Lopeño scores 93rd nationally and 92nd 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, Lopeño ranks 2,152 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,711 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 151 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Lopeño and the insurance market
At the 93rd percentile nationally, Lopeño 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 54.1% of Lopeño's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Lopeño's 93rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Lopeño, see the exposure-zones guide.
