Fort Green Springs, FL
How exposed is Fort Green Springs to wildfire?
USFS scores Fort Green Springs at the 96th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 190 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fort Green Springs at the 97th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Fort Green Springs's buildings actually sit
Of Fort Green Springs's 190 counted buildings, 95.8% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Fort Green Springs against the rest of the country
Fort Green Springs's risk sits at a similar level relative to Florida (95th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (96th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fort Green Springs ranks 1,228 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,228 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 46 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 96th percentile nationally, Fort Green Springs 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
With 95.8% of Fort Green Springs in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
