Rockwell Place, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
94thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rockwell Place at the 94th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 1,224 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rockwell Place at the 95th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

How Rockwell Place compares

Within Texas alone, it ranks 112 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.

Rockwell Place and the insurance market

Rockwell Place's 94th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
