Quail, TX
Quail wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Quail at the 85th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 51 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Quail's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 82nd percentile nationally.
Quail's building exposure, zone by zone
51 buildings are counted in Quail, and 86.3% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Quail compares
There's little gap between Quail's 85th national percentile and its 73rd percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Quail ranks 4,773 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,917 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 481 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Quail
Quail'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.
Hardening a home in Quail
Because Direct exposure dominates in Quail (86.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
