Los Barreras, TX
Los Barreras, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Los Barreras sits at the 87th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 140 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Los Barreras at the 87th percentile, close to its 87th-percentile risk score.
Los Barreras's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Los Barreras's buildings (87.9%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Los Barreras against the rest of the country
Los Barreras's risk sits at a similar level relative to Texas (78th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (87th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Los Barreras ranks 4,076 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,307 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 389 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Los Barreras
At the 87th percentile nationally, Los Barreras 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Los Barreras's 87.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
