Lantana, FL
Lantana, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Lantana lands at the 61st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 3,362 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lantana at the 62nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lantana's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 1.4% of Lantana's 3,362 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 98.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Lantana against the rest of the country
Lantana's 61st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 16th ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 45 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lantana ranks 12,282 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,968 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 804 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lantana
At the 61st percentile nationally, Lantana carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
With 98.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Lantana gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Lantana's 61st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Lantana, see the exposure-zones guide.
