Redwater, TX
Redwater, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Redwater at the 73rd national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 568 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Redwater at the 75th percentile, close to its 73rd-percentile risk score.
Redwater's building exposure, zone by zone
60.6% of Redwater's 568 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 344 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 39.4% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Redwater compares
Redwater ranks lower within Texas (41st percentile statewide) than its 73rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Redwater ranks 8,394 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,289 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,061 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Redwater
Redwater's 73rd-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 Redwater
With 60.6% of Redwater 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.
