Sunset Acres, TX
How exposed is Sunset Acres to wildfire?
Sunset Acres sits at the 69th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 14 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 Sunset Acres at the 64th percentile, close to its 69th-percentile risk score.
Where Sunset Acres's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 100% of Sunset Acres's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 14 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most. This is a small settlement by building count — 14 total — so these shares describe a handful of structures, not a statistical average across thousands.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Sunset Acres's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
