Manuel Garcia, TX
Manuel Garcia wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Manuel Garcia lands at the 92nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 88 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Manuel Garcia's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 93rd percentile nationally.
Manuel Garcia's building exposure, zone by zone
86.4% of Manuel Garcia's 88 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 13.6% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Manuel Garcia ranks
There's little gap between Manuel Garcia's 92nd national percentile and its 90th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Manuel Garcia ranks 2,464 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,597 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 187 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Manuel Garcia
Manuel Garcia's very high rating (92nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Manuel Garcia
Because 86.4% of Manuel Garcia'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.
