Feather Sound, FL
Feather Sound, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Feather Sound at the 66th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,177 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Feather Sound at the 67th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Feather Sound's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 85.2% of Feather Sound's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 14.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Feather Sound compares
Inside Florida, Feather Sound sits at just the 20th percentile even though it scores 66th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Feather Sound ranks 10,863 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,783 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 760 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Feather Sound
At the 66th percentile nationally, Feather Sound carries the 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
With 85.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Feather Sound gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Feather Sound's 66th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Feather Sound, see the exposure-zones guide.
