Floris, VA
Floris wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Floris at the 10th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 2,448 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 Floris at the 10th percentile, close to its 10th-percentile risk score.
Where Floris's buildings actually sit
Most of Floris's buildings (75% of 2,448) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Floris against the rest of the country
Floris's risk sits at a similar level relative to Virginia (1st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (10th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Floris ranks 28,539 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,402 by building count (1 is largest). Within Virginia alone, it ranks 672 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Floris
Floris's low wildfire rating (10th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Floris
With 75% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Floris gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
