New Fairview, TX
New Fairview, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
New Fairview 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 982 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, New Fairview's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 87th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of New Fairview's 982 counted buildings, 95.7% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How New Fairview compares
There's little gap between New Fairview's 87th national percentile and its 77th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, New Fairview ranks 4,236 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,062 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 411 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in New Fairview
At the 87th percentile nationally, New Fairview 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
With 95.7% of New Fairview in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
