Sunset (Starr), TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Sunset (Starr) at the 93rd national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 17 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 Sunset (Starr) at the 92nd percentile, close to its 93rd-percentile risk score.
Sunset (Starr)'s building exposure, zone by zone
Of Sunset (Starr)'s 17 counted buildings, 100% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first. This is a small settlement by building count — 17 total — so these shares describe a handful of structures, not a statistical average across thousands.
Where Sunset (Starr) ranks
Sunset (Starr) scores 93rd nationally and 91st 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, Sunset (Starr) ranks 2,313 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,479 by building count (1 is largest).

Shopping for coverage in Sunset (Starr)

Hardening a home in Sunset (Starr)
