Jasper, FL
How exposed is Jasper to wildfire?
USFS scores Jasper at the 76th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 966 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Jasper at the 76th percentile, close to its 76th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
966 buildings are counted in Jasper, and 69.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 30.8% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Jasper compares
Jasper ranks lower within Florida (40th percentile statewide) than its 76th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jasper ranks 7,468 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,179 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 577 of 955 places by risk.

Jasper and the insurance market
Jasper's high rating (76th 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.
Hardening a home in Jasper
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Jasper (69.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
