Lamont, FL
How exposed is Lamont to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Lamont at the 76th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 104 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lamont at the 75th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lamont's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Lamont's 104 counted buildings, 100% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Lamont ranks
Lamont's 76th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 39th ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 37 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lamont ranks 7,469 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,837 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 578 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lamont
Lamont's 76th-percentile, 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 Lamont
Because Direct exposure dominates in Lamont (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
