Texarkana, TX
How exposed is Texarkana to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Texarkana at the 64th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 15,732 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Texarkana at the 66th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Texarkana's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Texarkana's buildings (65.4% of 15,732) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 15,732 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Texarkana ranks
Texarkana's 64th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 20th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 45 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Texarkana ranks 11,294 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 933 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,441 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Texarkana
Texarkana's high rating (64th 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 Texarkana
With 65.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Texarkana gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Texarkana's 64th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Texarkana, see the exposure-zones guide.
