Naranja, FL
Naranja wildfire risk explained
Naranja's 1,444 buildings earn a 72nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Naranja at the 75th percentile, close to its 72nd-percentile risk score.
Naranja's building exposure, zone by zone
Naranja rates 90.9% Minimal exposure against just 9.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 1,444 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Naranja compares
Naranja ranks lower within Florida (30th percentile statewide) than its 72nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Naranja ranks 8,942 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,411 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 674 of 955 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Naranja
Naranja's 72nd-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Naranja
With 90.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Naranja gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
