Eastpoint, FL
Eastpoint wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Eastpoint lands at the 96th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 1,526 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 Eastpoint at the 95th percentile, close to its 96th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
1,526 buildings are counted in Eastpoint, and 50.2% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 31.1% rated Minimal.
Where Eastpoint ranks
Eastpoint scores 96th nationally and 94th within Florida — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eastpoint ranks 1,380 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,056 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 57 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Eastpoint and the insurance market
At the 96th percentile nationally, Eastpoint 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
Eastpoint's 50.2% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
