Robstown, TX
Robstown wildfire risk explained
Robstown's 4,759 buildings earn a 22nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Robstown at the 23rd percentile, close to its 22nd-percentile risk score.
Where Robstown's buildings actually sit
Most of Robstown's buildings (94.7% of 4,759) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Robstown against the rest of the country
Robstown's 22nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 1st ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 20 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Robstown ranks 24,663 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,585 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,770 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
Robstown's moderate wildfire rating (22nd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Robstown's 94.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Robstown's 22nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Robstown, see the exposure-zones guide.
