Rangerville, TX
Rangerville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Rangerville at the 57th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 160 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 Rangerville at the 57th percentile, close to its 57th-percentile risk score.
Where Rangerville's buildings actually sit
Of Rangerville's 160 counted buildings, 61.3% carry Direct exposure and only 38.8% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Rangerville compares
Rangerville ranks lower within Texas (11th percentile statewide) than its 57th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rangerville ranks 13,632 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,457 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,594 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
Rangerville'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.
Hardening a home in Rangerville
Because Direct exposure dominates in Rangerville (61.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Rangerville'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 direct exposure implies beyond Rangerville, see the exposure-zones guide.
