Coral Springs, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
100thpercentile nationally

Coral Springs sits at the 100th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 28,226 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Coral Springs at the 99th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Where Coral Springs's buildings actually sit

28,226Total buildings
6.4%Direct exposure
17.3%Indirect exposure
76.3%Minimal exposure

Most of Coral Springs's buildings (76.3% of 28,226) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 28,226 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.

How Coral Springs compares

Coral Springs's risk sits at a similar level relative to Florida (100th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (100th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Coral Springs ranks 158 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 428 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 2 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Coral Springs

At the 100th percentile nationally, Coral Springs 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.

What would actually reduce this score

Even with 76.3% of Coral Springs 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.
