Citrus Park, FL
How exposed is Citrus Park to wildfire?
USFS scores Citrus Park at the 73rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 9,480 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Citrus Park at the 73rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Citrus Park's buildings actually sit
Citrus Park rates 66.2% Minimal exposure against just 22.7% Direct and 11.1% Indirect — of 9,480 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 9,480 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Citrus Park compares
Citrus Park's 73rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 32nd ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 41 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Citrus Park ranks 8,565 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,718 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 650 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
At the 73rd percentile nationally, Citrus Park 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 66.2% of Citrus Park outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
