Olympia Heights, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Elevated
58thpercentile nationally

Olympia Heights sits at the 58th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 4,779 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Olympia Heights at the 65th national percentile — 7 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

4,779Total buildings
4.5%Direct exposure

Olympia Heights against the rest of the country

Olympia Heights's 58th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 11th ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 47 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Olympia Heights ranks 13,294 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,570 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 849 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.

Olympia Heights and the insurance market

Olympia Heights's elevated rating (58th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.

Hardening a home in Olympia Heights

With 95.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Olympia Heights gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.

Where Olympia Heights's figures come from

Olympia Heights's 58th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Olympia Heights's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
