Fountainebleau, FL
Fountainebleau, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Fountainebleau at the 55th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 4,353 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fountainebleau at the 58th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Fountainebleau's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 97.3% of Fountainebleau's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 2.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Fountainebleau ranks
Fountainebleau's 55th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 8th ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 47 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fountainebleau ranks 14,297 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,929 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 882 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
Fountainebleau's elevated rating (55th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 97.3% of Fountainebleau 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.
