Astatula, FL
How exposed is Astatula to wildfire?
Astatula's 1,033 buildings earn a 85th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Astatula's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 87th percentile nationally.
Where Astatula's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 71.3% of Astatula's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 28.8% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 736 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Astatula ranks
Astatula ranks lower within Florida (63rd percentile statewide) than its 85th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Astatula ranks 4,846 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,702 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 355 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 85th percentile nationally, Astatula carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 71.3% of Astatula in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Astatula's 85th-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 Astatula, see the exposure-zones guide.
