Eatonville, FL
Eatonville wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Eatonville at the 60th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 844 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Eatonville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 63rd percentile nationally.
Eatonville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 76.2% of Eatonville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 23.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Eatonville compares
Eatonville's 60th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 14th ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 46 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eatonville ranks 12,596 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,207 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 818 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Eatonville and the insurance market
Eatonville's elevated rating (60th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 76.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Eatonville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
