Middleburg, FL
How exposed is Middleburg to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Middleburg at the 81st national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 6,913 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Middleburg's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 80th percentile nationally.
Where Middleburg's buildings actually sit
Of Middleburg's 6,913 counted buildings, 84.3% carry Direct exposure and only 0.9% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first. At 6,913 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Middleburg against the rest of the country
Middleburg ranks lower within Florida (51st percentile statewide) than its 81st national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Middleburg ranks 5,979 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,505 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 472 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Middleburg
Middleburg's very high rating (81st percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Middleburg
With 84.3% of Middleburg in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
