How Wake Village compares
Inside Texas, Wake Village sits at just the 27th percentile even though it scores 68th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wake Village ranks 10,008 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,120 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,313 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Wake Village's high rating (68th 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.
