Biscayne Park, FL
Biscayne Park, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Biscayne Park sits at the 57th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,197 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Biscayne Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 64th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 86.1% of Biscayne Park's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 14% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.

Hardening a home in Biscayne Park
With 86.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Biscayne Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
