Homeland, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
98thpercentile nationally

Homeland sits at the 98th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 208 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Homeland at the 99th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Homeland's building exposure, zone by zone

208Total buildings
85.6%Direct exposure
14.4%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Direct exposure dominates in Homeland: 85.6% of its 208 buildings, versus 14.4% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

How Homeland compares

There's little gap between Homeland's 98th national percentile and its 98th percentile inside Florida, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Homeland ranks 631 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,543 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 18 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Homeland

Homeland's very high rating (98th 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.

What would actually reduce this score

With 85.6% of Homeland in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.

Where Homeland's figures come from

Every one of the two percentiles behind Homeland's 631-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Homeland's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
