Raymondville, TX
Raymondville, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Raymondville at the 39th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 3,586 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Raymondville at the 40th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Raymondville's building exposure, zone by zone
88.7% of Raymondville's 3,586 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 11.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Raymondville compares
Inside Texas, Raymondville sits at just the 4th percentile even though it scores 39th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Raymondville ranks 19,210 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,673 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,732 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
Raymondville's moderate rating (39th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Raymondville's 88.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
