How exposed is Graceville to wildfire?
USFS scores Graceville at the 60th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,302 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 Graceville at the 62nd percentile, close to its 60th-percentile risk score.
Graceville's building exposure, zone by zone

Where Graceville ranks
Inside Florida, Graceville sits at just the 15th percentile even though it scores 60th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Graceville ranks 12,538 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,069 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 814 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Graceville
Graceville's 60th-percentile, 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
Graceville's 60.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
