Westbrook, TX
Westbrook, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Westbrook's 243 buildings earn a 85th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Westbrook at the 84th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Westbrook's building exposure, zone by zone
243 buildings are counted in Westbrook, and 66.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 33.3% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Westbrook compares
Westbrook's risk sits at a similar level relative to Texas (72nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (85th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Westbrook ranks 4,868 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,378 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 498 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Westbrook and the insurance market
Westbrook's very high rating (85th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Westbrook's 66.7% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
