Crockett, TX: what USGS's seismic model says

Crockett carries Seismic Design Category B under USGS's ASCE 7-16 model. Low seismic hazard. Code requires basic seismic detailing (bracing, connections) but no special structural system restrictions. Nationally, Crockett ranks above 19% of the 4,875 cities in this dataset for seismic hazard - the 19th percentile.

Crockett by the numbers

The raw figures: peak ground acceleration 0.038g, short-period spectral response 0.079g, 1-second spectral response 0.049g. Among 384 Texas cities in this dataset, Crockett ranks 180 for seismic hazard, the 53th percentile within the state. About 6,387 people live in Crockett, Texas.

Retrofit economics for Crockett

Outside California, no state-level retrofit grant equivalent to Brace + Bolt could be found for Texas. A typical retrofit still runs $5,000-$10,000 nationally, about $7,000 for a common single-family job.

What this means for insurance

Outside California, earthquake coverage is typically sold as an endorsement added to a standard homeowners policy, not a separate product - worth asking about directly when getting a home-insurance quote for a Crockett address.
