Dania Beach, FL
How exposed is Dania Beach to wildfire?
USFS scores Dania Beach at the 69th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 9,888 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Dania Beach at the 69th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Dania Beach's buildings actually sit
Only 3.8% of Dania Beach's 9,888 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 96.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 9,888 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Dania Beach against the rest of the country
Dania Beach ranks lower within Florida (25th percentile statewide) than its 69th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dania Beach ranks 9,826 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,638 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 721 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dania Beach
Dania Beach's high rating (69th 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.
Hardening a home in Dania Beach
Even with 96.2% of Dania Beach 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.
Where Dania Beach's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Dania Beach's 9,826-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Dania Beach's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
