Sansom Park, TX
Sansom Park, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Sansom Park's 1,902 buildings earn a 61st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Sansom Park at the 61st percentile, close to its 61st-percentile risk score.
Where Sansom Park's buildings actually sit
Sansom Park rates 88.1% Minimal exposure against just 11.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 1,902 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Sansom Park compares
Sansom Park ranks lower within Texas (16th percentile statewide) than its 61st national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Sansom Park ranks 12,244 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,754 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,517 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Sansom Park
Sansom Park's 61st-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.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 88.1% of Sansom Park outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Sansom Park's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Sansom Park's 12,244-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Sansom Park's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
