Von Ormy, TX
Von Ormy, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Von Ormy at the 69th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 732 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
