Rogers, TX
How exposed is Rogers to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rogers at the 80th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 655 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rogers at the 77th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Rogers (53.9% of 655 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 46.1% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Rogers ranks
Inside Texas, Rogers sits at just the 60th percentile even though it scores 80th 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, Rogers ranks 6,445 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,142 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 716 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Rogers and the insurance market
Rogers's 80th-percentile, 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 53.9% of Rogers'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.
Where Rogers's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Rogers's 6,445-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Rogers's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
