Marianna, FL
Marianna, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Marianna at the 63rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 3,331 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Marianna's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 65th percentile nationally.
Where Marianna's buildings actually sit
Of Marianna's 3,331 counted buildings, 60.5% 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.
How Marianna compares
Marianna's 63rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 17th ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 46 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Marianna ranks 11,747 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,001 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 791 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 63rd percentile nationally, Marianna 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Marianna (60.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Marianna's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Marianna's 11,747-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Marianna's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
