What "at risk" means for the buildings here
3,441 buildings are counted in Fussels Corner, and 52.2% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 44.2% in Direct exposure or the 3.6% rated Minimal.
Where Fussels Corner ranks
Fussels Corner's risk sits at a similar level relative to Florida (86th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (92nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fussels Corner ranks 2,393 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,855 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 134 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Fussels Corner and the insurance market
Fussels Corner's 92nd-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 52.2% of Fussels Corner's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
