Holden Heights, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Elevated
56thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Holden Heights at the 56th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,605 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Holden Heights's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 60th percentile nationally.

1,605Total buildings
28.7%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
71.3%Minimal exposure

Where Holden Heights ranks

Inside Florida, Holden Heights sits at just the 9th percentile even though it scores 56th 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, Holden Heights ranks 13,892 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,748 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 864 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Holden Heights

At the 56th national percentile, Holden Heights rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

What would actually reduce this score

With 71.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Holden Heights gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.

More on how this number was built

Holden Heights's 56th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Holden Heights, see the exposure-zones guide.
