Brookridge, FL
Brookridge, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Brookridge sits at the 79th 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 2,959 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 Brookridge at the 78th percentile, close to its 79th-percentile risk score.
Where Brookridge's buildings actually sit
67.7% of Brookridge's 2,959 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 4.2% Direct and 28.1% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Brookridge compares
Brookridge ranks lower within Florida (46th percentile statewide) than its 79th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Brookridge ranks 6,489 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,500 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 514 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Brookridge's high rating (79th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Brookridge (67.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Brookridge's 79th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Brookridge, see the exposure-zones guide.
