How exposed is Jupiter Inlet Colony to wildfire?

Elevated
54thpercentile nationally

Jupiter Inlet Colony sits at the 54th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 244 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Jupiter Inlet Colony's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 54th percentile nationally.

Where Jupiter Inlet Colony's buildings actually sit

244Total buildings
0%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
100%Minimal exposure

Most of Jupiter Inlet Colony's buildings (100% of 244) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.

Jupiter Inlet Colony against the rest of the country

Inside Florida, Jupiter Inlet Colony sits at just the 7th percentile even though it scores 54th 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, Jupiter Inlet Colony ranks 14,521 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,325 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 891 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

At the 54th national percentile, Jupiter Inlet Colony rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Jupiter Inlet Colony's 100% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
