Roanoke, TX
Roanoke, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Roanoke's 3,294 buildings earn a 68th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Roanoke at the 68th percentile, close to its 68th-percentile risk score.
Roanoke's building exposure, zone by zone
3,294 buildings are counted in Roanoke, and 73.4% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 9.2% in Direct exposure or the 17.4% rated Minimal.
Where Roanoke ranks
Inside Texas, Roanoke sits at just the 26th percentile even though it scores 68th 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, Roanoke ranks 10,163 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,058 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,333 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Roanoke and the insurance market
Roanoke's high rating (68th 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 Roanoke
Because 73.4% of Roanoke's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
