Rendon, TX
Rendon, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rendon sits at the 80th 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 8,469 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 Rendon at the 79th percentile, close to its 80th-percentile risk score.
Rendon's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Rendon: 90.5% of its 8,469 buildings, versus 7.9% Indirect and 1.6% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap. At 8,469 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Rendon ranks
Inside Texas, Rendon sits at just the 60th percentile even though it scores 80th 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, Rendon ranks 6,476 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,966 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 722 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
Rendon's high rating (80th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Rendon
Rendon's 90.5% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Rendon's 80th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Rendon, see the exposure-zones guide.
