Port Mansfield, TX
How exposed is Port Mansfield to wildfire?
Port Mansfield sits at the 83rd 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 720 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Port Mansfield at the 82nd national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Port Mansfield's building exposure, zone by zone
720 buildings are counted in Port Mansfield, and 84.9% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 12.6% in Direct exposure or the 2.5% rated Minimal.
How Port Mansfield compares
Port Mansfield's risk sits at a similar level relative to Texas (70th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (83rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Port Mansfield ranks 5,247 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,458 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 538 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Port Mansfield's very high rating (83rd 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 84.9% of Port Mansfield'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.
