Point Venture, TX
How exposed is Point Venture to wildfire?
Point Venture sits at the 63rd 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 745 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Point Venture's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 62nd percentile nationally.
Point Venture's building exposure, zone by zone
72.2% of Point Venture's 745 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 20% Direct and 7.8% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Point Venture compares
Inside Texas, Point Venture sits at just the 19th percentile even though it scores 63rd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Point Venture ranks 11,551 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,180 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,458 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Point Venture and the insurance market
Point Venture's high rating (63rd 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
Because 72.2% of Point Venture'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.
