Villa Verde, TX
Villa Verde, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Villa Verde's 261 buildings earn a 62nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Villa Verde's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 63rd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Villa Verde rates 87.4% Minimal exposure against just 12.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 261 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Villa Verde ranks
Villa Verde ranks lower within Texas (16th percentile statewide) than its 62nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Villa Verde ranks 12,083 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,811 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,504 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Villa Verde
At the 62nd percentile nationally, Villa Verde carries the 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.
Hardening a home in Villa Verde
With 87.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Villa Verde gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
