Dundee, FL
How exposed is Dundee to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Dundee at the 87th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 2,247 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dundee at the 90th percentile, close to its 87th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
55.1% of Dundee's 2,247 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 39.3% Direct and 5.6% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Dundee against the rest of the country
Dundee's risk sits at a similar level relative to Florida (72nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (87th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dundee ranks 4,028 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,818 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 262 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
Dundee's very high rating (87th 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 Dundee
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Dundee (55.1% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
