Franklin Park, FL
How exposed is Franklin Park to wildfire?
USFS scores Franklin Park at the 48th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 227 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Franklin Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 54th percentile nationally.
Franklin Park's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 99.6% of Franklin Park's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 0.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Franklin Park compares
Franklin Park ranks lower within Florida (3rd percentile statewide) than its 48th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Franklin Park ranks 16,380 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,881 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 927 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 48th national percentile, Franklin Park rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 99.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Franklin Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
