Tulsita, TX
Tulsita wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Tulsita at the 77th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 25 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tulsita's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 75th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Tulsita: 68% of its 25 buildings, versus 32% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Tulsita compares
Inside Texas, Tulsita sits at just the 53rd percentile even though it scores 77th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tulsita ranks 7,232 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,423 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 852 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Tulsita

Hardening a home in Tulsita
Tulsita's 68% 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.
Where Tulsita's figures come from
