Strawn, TX
Strawn, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Strawn at the 94th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 550 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Strawn at the 94th percentile, close to its 94th-percentile risk score.
Where Strawn's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 59.3% of Strawn's 550 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 40.7% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Strawn compares
Strawn scores 94th nationally and 94th within Texas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Strawn ranks 1,872 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,573 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 117 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
At the 94th percentile nationally, Strawn carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Strawn
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Strawn (59.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
