Normangee, TX
Normangee, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Normangee's 538 buildings earn a 75th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Normangee's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 76th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Normangee (67.5% of 538 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 32.5% sit in the Direct zone.
How Normangee compares
Normangee ranks lower within Texas (45th percentile statewide) than its 75th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Normangee ranks 8,017 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,759 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 983 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Normangee and the insurance market
At the 75th percentile nationally, Normangee carries the 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.
Hardening a home in Normangee
Normangee's 67.5% 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.
