Springlake, TX
How exposed is Springlake to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Springlake lands at the 35th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 142 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Springlake's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 31st percentile nationally.
Where Springlake's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 73.2% of Springlake's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 26.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Springlake ranks
Springlake's 35th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 3rd ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 32 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Springlake ranks 20,438 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,227 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,743 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Springlake
At the 35th national percentile, Springlake rates moderate 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
With 73.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Springlake gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
