Presidio, TX
How exposed is Presidio to wildfire?
Presidio's 2,320 buildings earn a 57th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Presidio at the 57th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
2,320 buildings are counted in Presidio, and 96.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 3.7% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Presidio against the rest of the country
Inside Texas, Presidio sits at just the 11th percentile even though it scores 57th 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, Presidio ranks 13,631 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,663 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,593 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Presidio
Presidio's elevated wildfire rating (57th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Presidio (96.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Presidio's 57th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Presidio, see the exposure-zones guide.
