Santa Rosa (Cameron), TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Santa Rosa (Cameron)'s 991 buildings earn a 53rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Santa Rosa (Cameron)'s burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 54th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 78.6% of Santa Rosa (Cameron)'s buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 21.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Santa Rosa (Cameron) compares
Inside Texas, Santa Rosa (Cameron) sits at just the 8th percentile even though it scores 53rd 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, Santa Rosa (Cameron) ranks 14,826 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,997 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,647 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Santa Rosa (Cameron)'s elevated rating (53rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Santa Rosa (Cameron)
Even with 78.6% of Santa Rosa (Cameron) 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.
