Greenacres, FL
Greenacres wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Greenacres at the 58th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 8,515 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Greenacres at the 62nd percentile, close to its 58th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
96.1% of Greenacres's 8,515 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 3.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 8,515 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Greenacres against the rest of the country
Inside Florida, Greenacres sits at just the 12th percentile even though it scores 58th 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, Greenacres ranks 13,135 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,949 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 838 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greenacres
Greenacres's elevated wildfire rating (58th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 96.1% of Greenacres 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.
Where Greenacres's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Greenacres's 13,135-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Greenacres's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
