Progreso, TX
Progreso, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Progreso at the 49th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,559 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Progreso's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 50th percentile nationally.
Where Progreso's buildings actually sit
Only 13.3% of Progreso's 1,559 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 86.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Progreso ranks
Progreso ranks lower within Texas (6th percentile statewide) than its 49th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Progreso ranks 16,121 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,926 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,691 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Progreso
Progreso's elevated rating (49th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 86.7% of Progreso outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Progreso's figures come from
The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 1,559 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Progreso. The exposure-zones guide covers what Progreso's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
