Miami Springs, FL
Miami Springs, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Miami Springs's 4,474 buildings earn a 45th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Miami Springs at the 55th national percentile — 10 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
Miami Springs rates 89.5% Minimal exposure against just 10.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 4,474 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Miami Springs against the rest of the country
Miami Springs ranks lower within Florida (2nd percentile statewide) than its 45th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Miami Springs ranks 17,326 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,814 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 940 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Miami Springs
Miami Springs's elevated wildfire rating (45th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 89.5% of Miami Springs outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Miami Springs's 45th-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 Miami Springs, see the exposure-zones guide.
