Redford, TX
Redford wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Redford at the 69th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 124 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 Redford at the 66th percentile, close to its 69th-percentile risk score.
Redford's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Redford: 100% of its 124 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Redford compares
Redford ranks lower within Texas (28th percentile statewide) than its 69th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Redford ranks 9,878 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,006 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,296 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
Redford's 69th-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 Redford
Because Direct exposure dominates in Redford (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
