Wadsworth, TX
Wadsworth, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Wadsworth sits at the 78th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 357 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wadsworth at the 81st percentile, close to its 78th-percentile risk score.
Wadsworth's building exposure, zone by zone
357 buildings are counted in Wadsworth, and 75.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Wadsworth compares
Wadsworth's 78th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 55th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 22 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wadsworth ranks 7,013 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,147 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 807 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Wadsworth
Wadsworth's 78th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 75.1% of Wadsworth in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Wadsworth's 78th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Wadsworth, see the exposure-zones guide.
