Weir, TX
Weir, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Weir's 417 buildings earn a 68th-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, Weir's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 66th percentile nationally.
Where Weir's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 83.2% of Weir's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 15.8% Indirect share and far above its 1% Minimal share — a profile where 347 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Weir against the rest of the country
Weir's 68th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 27th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 41 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Weir ranks 9,976 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,897 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,310 of 1,795 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Weir
At the 68th percentile nationally, Weir 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Weir's 83.2% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Weir's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Weir's 9,976-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Weir's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
