Rio Vista, TX
Rio Vista, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rio Vista at the 91st national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 585 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 Rio Vista at the 91st percentile, close to its 91st-percentile risk score.
Rio Vista's building exposure, zone by zone
585 buildings are counted in Rio Vista, and 56.6% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Rio Vista against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Rio Vista's 91st national percentile and its 86th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rio Vista ranks 2,850 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,036 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 248 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
At the 91st percentile nationally, Rio Vista 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.

More on how this number was built
Rio Vista's 91st-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 Rio Vista, see the exposure-zones guide.
