Edgewood, FL
Edgewood, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Edgewood at the 58th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 1,213 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 Edgewood at the 61st percentile, close to its 58th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
74.8% of Edgewood's 1,213 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 25.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Edgewood compares
Edgewood ranks lower within Florida (12th percentile statewide) than its 58th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edgewood ranks 13,198 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,575 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 842 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Edgewood and the insurance market
Edgewood's elevated rating (58th 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
Even with 74.8% of Edgewood 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.
