Myra, TX
Myra, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Myra at the 85th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 193 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Myra at the 85th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
50.8% of Myra's 193 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 49.2% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Myra ranks
There's little gap between Myra's 85th national percentile and its 74th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Myra ranks 4,711 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,140 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 473 of 1,795 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Myra
Myra's very high rating (85th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 50.8% of Myra'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.
Where Myra's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Myra's 4,711-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Myra's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
