Turkey, TX
Turkey, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Turkey sits at the 93rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 430 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Turkey's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 91st percentile nationally.
Where Turkey's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Turkey (54.9% of 430 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 45.1% sit in the Direct zone.
Turkey against the rest of the country
Turkey scores 93rd nationally and 90th 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, Turkey ranks 2,344 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,661 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 175 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Turkey and the insurance market
Turkey's very high rating (93rd 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 54.9% of Turkey'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.
Where Turkey's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Turkey's 2,344-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Turkey's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
