Davie, FL
How exposed is Davie to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Davie lands at the 81st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 29,364 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Davie at the 80th percentile, close to its 81st-percentile risk score.
Davie's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 81.9% of Davie's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 18.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one. At 29,364 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Davie against the rest of the country
Davie's 81st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 51st ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 30 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Davie ranks 5,957 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 397 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 469 of 955 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Davie
Davie's very high rating (81st 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 Davie
Davie's 81.9% 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.
