Woodbranch, TX
Woodbranch wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Woodbranch lands at the 63rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 688 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 Woodbranch at the 64th percentile, close to its 63rd-percentile risk score.
Woodbranch's building exposure, zone by zone
73.1% of Woodbranch's 688 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 503 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 26.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.

Hardening a home in Woodbranch

More on how this number was built
Woodbranch's 63rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Woodbranch, see the exposure-zones guide.
