Orlovista, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

High
67thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Orlovista at the 67th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 2,497 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Orlovista at the 69th percentile, close to its 67th-percentile risk score.

Where Orlovista's buildings actually sit

2,497Total buildings
18%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
82%Minimal exposure

Only 18% of Orlovista's 2,497 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 82% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.

Where Orlovista ranks

Orlovista's 67th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 23rd ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 44 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Orlovista ranks 10,329 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,299 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 733 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.

Orlovista and the insurance market

At the 67th percentile nationally, Orlovista carries the 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.

What would actually reduce this score

With 82% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Orlovista gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.

More on how this number was built

Orlovista's 67th-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 Orlovista, see the exposure-zones guide.
