Indiantown, FL
Indiantown, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Indiantown sits at the 89th 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 2,260 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Indiantown at the 91st percentile, close to its 89th-percentile risk score.
Indiantown's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 70.7% of Indiantown's 2,260 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 29.3% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Indiantown against the rest of the country
Indiantown scores 89th nationally and 78th within Florida — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Indiantown ranks 3,463 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,793 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 206 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Indiantown and the insurance market
Indiantown's very high rating (89th 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 ember exposure the dominant pattern in Indiantown (70.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
