Buenaventura Lakes, FL
Buenaventura Lakes, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Buenaventura Lakes at the 82nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 8,840 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Buenaventura Lakes at the 82nd percentile, close to its 82nd-percentile risk score.
Where Buenaventura Lakes's buildings actually sit
54.5% of Buenaventura Lakes's 8,840 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 11.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 8,840 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Buenaventura Lakes against the rest of the country
Inside Florida, Buenaventura Lakes sits at just the 52nd percentile even though it scores 82nd 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, Buenaventura Lakes ranks 5,790 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,886 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 451 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Buenaventura Lakes
At the 82nd percentile nationally, Buenaventura Lakes carries the very 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Buenaventura Lakes's 54.5% 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
Buenaventura Lakes's 82nd-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 Buenaventura Lakes, see the exposure-zones guide.
