Aventura, FL
Aventura, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Aventura lands at the 73rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,757 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Aventura's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 75th percentile nationally.
Aventura's building exposure, zone by zone
98.1% of Aventura's 1,757 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 1.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Aventura compares
Aventura's 73rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 32nd ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 41 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Aventura ranks 8,535 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,199 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 646 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Aventura
At the 73rd percentile nationally, Aventura carries the 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 98.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Aventura gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
