Ravenna, TX
Ravenna, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Ravenna sits at the 74th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 171 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Ravenna at the 75th percentile, close to its 74th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Ravenna: 97.1% of its 171 buildings, versus 2.9% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Ravenna ranks
Ravenna ranks lower within Texas (44th percentile statewide) than its 74th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ravenna ranks 8,114 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,003 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,005 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Ravenna and the insurance market
Ravenna's 74th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Ravenna
With 97.1% of Ravenna in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
