Hillsboro Pines, FL
Hillsboro Pines, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Hillsboro Pines at the 64th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 213 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hillsboro Pines's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 69th percentile nationally.
Where Hillsboro Pines's buildings actually sit
Most of Hillsboro Pines's buildings (74.7% of 213) 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.
Hillsboro Pines against the rest of the country
Hillsboro Pines ranks lower within Florida (18th percentile statewide) than its 64th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hillsboro Pines ranks 11,464 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,356 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 782 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hillsboro Pines
At the 64th percentile nationally, Hillsboro Pines carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Hillsboro Pines's 74.7% 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 Hillsboro Pines's figures come from
Hillsboro Pines's 64th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Hillsboro Pines's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
