Perezville, TX
Perezville wildfire risk explained
Perezville sits at the 71st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,907 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Perezville at the 71st national percentile — 0 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
Most of Perezville's buildings (95.3% of 1,907) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Perezville against the rest of the country
Perezville's 71st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 34th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 37 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Perezville ranks 9,122 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,748 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,188 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Perezville
At the 71st percentile nationally, Perezville 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Perezville's 95.3% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
