Narciso Pena, TX
Narciso Pena, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Narciso Pena lands at the 91st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 13 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Narciso Pena at the 92nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
100% of Narciso Pena's 13 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 0% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone. This is a small settlement by building count — 13 total — so these shares describe a handful of structures, not a statistical average across thousands.
Where Narciso Pena ranks
Narciso Pena scores 91st nationally and 87th 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, Narciso Pena ranks 2,784 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,503 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 236 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Narciso Pena
Narciso Pena's very high rating (91st 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Narciso Pena (100% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Narciso Pena's 91st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. At 13 buildings, Narciso Pena is close to the size where USFS's data gets thin — the data-quality guide explains why 517 places nationally get no score at all.
