Lopezville, TX
How exposed is Lopezville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Lopezville lands at the 56th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 888 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lopezville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 59th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Lopezville's buildings (90.4% of 888) 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.
Lopezville against the rest of the country
Lopezville's 56th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 11th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 46 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lopezville ranks 13,790 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,837 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,604 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lopezville
Lopezville's elevated rating (56th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 90.4% of Lopezville 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 Lopezville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Lopezville's 13,790-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Lopezville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
