Goulding, FL
Goulding, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Goulding's 1,522 buildings earn a 67th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Goulding at the 70th percentile, close to its 67th-percentile risk score.
Goulding's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Goulding's buildings (85.6% of 1,522) 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.
Goulding against the rest of the country
Goulding's 67th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 22nd ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 44 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Goulding ranks 10,523 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,073 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 741 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Goulding and the insurance market
Goulding's high rating (67th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Goulding
Goulding's 85.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Goulding's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Goulding's 10,523-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Goulding's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
