Weimar, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

High
61stpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Weimar lands at the 61st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,378 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Weimar at the 62nd percentile, close to its 61st-percentile risk score.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

1,378Total buildings
28.5%Direct exposure
71.5%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Indirect exposure is dominant in Weimar (71.5% of 1,378 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 28.5% sit in the Direct zone.

How Weimar compares

Weimar's 61st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 16th 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, Weimar ranks 12,212 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,723 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,516 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

Weimar's high rating (61st 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.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Weimar (71.5% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.

More on how this number was built

Weimar's 61st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Weimar, see the exposure-zones guide.
