Round Mountain, TX
Round Mountain, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Round Mountain lands at the 87th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 126 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Round Mountain at the 86th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Round Mountain's building exposure, zone by zone
126 buildings are counted in Round Mountain, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Round Mountain ranks
Round Mountain's risk sits at a similar level relative to Texas (78th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (87th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Round Mountain ranks 4,077 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,920 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 390 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Round Mountain
Round Mountain's very high rating (87th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Round Mountain's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
