Jupiter Farms, FL
How exposed is Jupiter Farms to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Jupiter Farms lands at the 96th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 6,641 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Jupiter Farms at the 97th percentile, close to its 96th-percentile risk score.
Where Jupiter Farms's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Jupiter Farms: 95.5% of its 6,641 buildings, versus 4.4% Indirect and 0.1% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap. At 6,641 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Jupiter Farms against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Jupiter Farms's 96th national percentile and its 96th percentile inside Florida, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jupiter Farms ranks 1,195 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,606 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 44 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Jupiter Farms and the insurance market
Jupiter Farms's 96th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Jupiter Farms
Jupiter Farms's 95.5% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
