Windcrest, TX
Windcrest, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Windcrest's 2,455 buildings earn a 56th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Windcrest at the 57th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Windcrest's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Windcrest's buildings (93.4% of 2,455) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Windcrest ranks
Windcrest's 56th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 11th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 45 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Windcrest ranks 13,756 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,384 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,600 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Windcrest
Windcrest's elevated rating (56th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 93.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Windcrest gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Windcrest's figures come from
Windcrest's 56th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Windcrest's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
