Rockport, TX
Rockport, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rockport sits at the 81st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 6,682 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 Rockport at the 81st percentile, close to its 81st-percentile risk score.
Rockport's building exposure, zone by zone
72.2% of Rockport's 6,682 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 22% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 6,682 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Rockport against the rest of the country
Rockport ranks lower within Texas (63rd percentile statewide) than its 81st national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rockport ranks 6,065 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,594 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 661 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
Rockport'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.
Hardening a home in Rockport
Even with 72.2% of Rockport outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Rockport's 81st-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 Rockport, see the exposure-zones guide.
