Realitos, TX
Realitos, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Realitos's 129 buildings earn a 86th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Realitos at the 86th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Realitos's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 50.4% of Realitos's 129 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 49.6% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Realitos against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Realitos's 86th national percentile and its 76th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Realitos ranks 4,395 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,773 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 437 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Realitos
At the 86th percentile nationally, Realitos carries the very 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
Because 50.4% of Realitos's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Realitos's 86th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Realitos, see the exposure-zones guide.
