Sebastian, TX
Sebastian, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Sebastian sits at the 17th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 878 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Sebastian at the 18th percentile, close to its 17th-percentile risk score.
Sebastian's building exposure, zone by zone
Sebastian rates 73.5% Minimal exposure against just 26.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 878 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Sebastian compares
Inside Texas, Sebastian sits at just the 1st percentile even though it scores 17th 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, Sebastian ranks 26,048 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,927 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,777 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Sebastian and the insurance market
At the 17th national percentile, Sebastian rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Sebastian's 73.5% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Sebastian's 17th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Sebastian, see the exposure-zones guide.
