Solis, TX
Solis, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Solis at the 61st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 286 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 Solis at the 62nd percentile, close to its 61st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 57.3% of Solis's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 42.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Solis against the rest of the country
Solis 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, Solis ranks 12,211 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,023 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,515 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
Solis'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.
Hardening a home in Solis
Even with 57.3% of Solis 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 Solis's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Solis's 12,211-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Solis's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
