Yantis, TX
Yantis, TX's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Yantis at the 74th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 320 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Yantis at the 75th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Yantis: 84.1% of its 320 buildings, versus 15.9% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Yantis against the rest of the country
Yantis ranks lower within Texas (45th percentile statewide) than its 74th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Yantis ranks 8,082 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,103 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 1,000 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
Yantis's high rating (74th 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
Yantis's 84.1% 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.
