Priddy, TX
Priddy wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Priddy at the 85th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 245 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Priddy at the 82nd percentile, close to its 85th-percentile risk score.
Priddy's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Priddy's 245 counted buildings, 71.4% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Priddy compares
There's little gap between Priddy's 85th national percentile and its 72nd percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Priddy ranks 4,865 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,317 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 495 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Priddy
Priddy's very high rating (85th 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
Priddy's 71.4% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Priddy's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Priddy's 4,865-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Priddy's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
