Mulberry, FL
Mulberry wildfire risk explained
Mulberry's 2,285 buildings earn a 96th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Mulberry at the 97th percentile, close to its 96th-percentile risk score.
Where Mulberry's buildings actually sit
2,285 buildings are counted in Mulberry, and 80.9% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 19.1% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Mulberry ranks
Mulberry's risk sits at a similar level relative to Florida (96th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (96th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mulberry ranks 1,196 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,734 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 45 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Mulberry
At the 96th percentile nationally, Mulberry 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.
Hardening a home in Mulberry
Because 80.9% of Mulberry's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
