Where Taylor Landing's buildings actually sit
50.8% of Taylor Landing's 128 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 49.2% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Taylor Landing compares
Taylor Landing scores 96th nationally and 97th 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, Taylor Landing ranks 1,142 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,827 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 55 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Taylor Landing and the insurance market
At the 96th percentile nationally, Taylor Landing 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 Taylor Landing
Taylor Landing's 50.8% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
