Rio Bravo, TX
Rio Bravo, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rio Bravo's 1,468 buildings earn a 81st-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rio Bravo's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 80th percentile nationally.
Rio Bravo's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 90.3% of Rio Bravo's 1,468 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 9.7% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Rio Bravo ranks
Inside Texas, Rio Bravo sits at just the 65th percentile even though it scores 81st 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, Rio Bravo ranks 5,879 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,322 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 638 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
Rio Bravo's very high rating (81st 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Rio Bravo's 90.3% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
