Azalea Park, FL
How exposed is Azalea Park to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Azalea Park at the 66th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 3,985 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Azalea Park at the 69th national percentile — 3 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
Only 22.1% of Azalea Park's 3,985 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 77.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Azalea Park against the rest of the country
Inside Florida, Azalea Park sits at just the 21st percentile even though it scores 66th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Azalea Park ranks 10,833 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,265 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 758 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Azalea Park
At the 66th percentile nationally, Azalea Park 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 77.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Azalea Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
