Beacon Square, FL
How exposed is Beacon Square to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Beacon Square lands at the 77th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 3,761 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Beacon Square's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 74th percentile nationally.
Where Beacon Square's buildings actually sit
Only 1.4% of Beacon Square's 3,761 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 98.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
