Roxton, TX
Roxton, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Roxton at the 77th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 436 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Roxton at the 78th percentile, close to its 77th-percentile risk score.
Where Roxton's buildings actually sit
436 buildings are counted in Roxton, and 75% 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.
How Roxton compares
Roxton's 77th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 53rd ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 24 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roxton ranks 7,230 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,541 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 850 of 1,795 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Roxton
Roxton's high rating (77th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Roxton (75%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Roxton's 77th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Roxton, see the exposure-zones guide.
