Mango, FL

Mango, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
81stpercentile nationally

USFS scores Mango at the 81st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 4,282 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Mango at the 82nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

4,282Total buildings
34.3%Direct exposure
20.9%Indirect exposure
44.8%Minimal exposure

Most of Mango's buildings (44.8% of 4,282) 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.

How Mango compares

Inside Florida, Mango sits at just the 52nd percentile even though it scores 81st 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, Mango ranks 5,921 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,991 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 465 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.

Mango and the insurance market

At the 81st percentile nationally, Mango carries the very 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 44.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Mango 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

Mango's 81st-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 Mango, see the exposure-zones guide.
