Stockdale, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Stockdale's 897 buildings earn a 77th-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 Stockdale at the 78th percentile, close to its 77th-percentile risk score.
Where Stockdale's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 62.4% of Stockdale's 897 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 37.6% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Stockdale against the rest of the country
Inside Texas, Stockdale sits at just the 53rd percentile even though it scores 77th 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, Stockdale ranks 7,231 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,758 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 851 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Stockdale and the insurance market
Stockdale's high rating (77th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Stockdale
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Stockdale (62.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Stockdale's figures come from
Stockdale's 77th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Stockdale's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
