Tynan, TX
Tynan wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Tynan at the 59th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 196 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Tynan at the 58th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 84.7% of Tynan's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 15.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Tynan against the rest of the country
Tynan's 59th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 13th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 46 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tynan ranks 13,000 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,013 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,567 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Tynan
Tynan's elevated wildfire rating (59th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Tynan's 84.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Tynan's 59th-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 Tynan, see the exposure-zones guide.
