Randolph AFB, TX
Randolph AFB wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Randolph AFB lands at the 64th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 677 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Randolph AFB's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 64th percentile nationally.
Where Randolph AFB's buildings actually sit
Only 29.4% of Randolph AFB's 677 buildings carry Direct exposure and 5.2% carry Indirect; the remaining 65.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Randolph AFB ranks
Randolph AFB ranks lower within Texas (20th percentile statewide) than its 64th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Randolph AFB ranks 11,261 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,904 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,435 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
At the 64th percentile nationally, Randolph AFB carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 65.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Randolph AFB gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
