There are a lot of risks. It is probably a combination of these things (which you may or may not be able to change): more than 50 years old, excessive alcohol intake, smoking, having Diabetes, high cholesterol and high triglycerides, high salt intake, being a male, family history of high blood pressure, obesity (especially in the abdomen area), sedentary lifestyle (not a lot of exercise), high stress. Also, African Americans are more prone to high blood pressure. There are also other types of high blood pressure that can be caused by underlying diseases or pregnancy.
