Glen Ridge, FL
Glen Ridge, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Glen Ridge at the 46th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 131 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Glen Ridge at the 50th percentile, close to its 46th-percentile risk score.
Glen Ridge's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Glen Ridge's buildings (85.5% of 131) 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.
Glen Ridge against the rest of the country
Glen Ridge ranks lower within Florida (2nd percentile statewide) than its 46th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glen Ridge ranks 16,919 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,656 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 937 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Glen Ridge and the insurance market
At the 46th national percentile, Glen Ridge rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Glen Ridge
Even with 85.5% of Glen Ridge 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.
