San Ygnacio, TX
How exposed is San Ygnacio to wildfire?
San Ygnacio's 440 buildings earn a 83rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, San Ygnacio's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 81st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of San Ygnacio's buildings (83.6%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where San Ygnacio ranks
There's little gap between San Ygnacio's 83rd national percentile and its 68th percentile inside Texas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, San Ygnacio ranks 5,466 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,469 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 574 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in San Ygnacio
San Ygnacio's very high rating (83rd 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in San Ygnacio (83.6% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where San Ygnacio's figures come from
San Ygnacio's 83rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what San Ygnacio's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
