Brent, FL
Brent, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Brent sits at the 71st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 9,323 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Brent at the 73rd percentile, close to its 71st-percentile risk score.
Brent's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 74.7% of Brent's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 25.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one. At 9,323 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Brent against the rest of the country
Brent's 71st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 28th ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 43 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Brent ranks 9,195 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,763 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 692 of 955 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Brent
At the 71st percentile nationally, Brent 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.
Hardening a home in Brent
Brent's 74.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Brent's 71st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Brent, see the exposure-zones guide.
