Tulia, TX
Tulia, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Tulia lands at the 94th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 2,457 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Tulia at the 94th percentile, close to its 94th-percentile risk score.
Where Tulia's buildings actually sit
2,457 buildings are counted in Tulia, and 67.5% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 18% in Direct exposure or the 14.5% rated Minimal.
Tulia against the rest of the country
Tulia scores 94th nationally and 93rd 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, Tulia ranks 1,901 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,379 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 121 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Tulia
At the 94th percentile nationally, Tulia 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 67.5% of Tulia's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Tulia's 1,901-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Tulia, see the exposure-zones guide.
