Parker, FL
Parker wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Parker at the 75th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 2,526 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Parker's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 72nd percentile nationally.
Parker's building exposure, zone by zone
68.2% of Parker's 2,526 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 22.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Parker ranks
Inside Florida, Parker sits at just the 35th percentile even though it scores 75th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Parker ranks 8,036 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,251 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 621 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Parker
Parker's high rating (75th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 68.2% of Parker outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Parker's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Parker's 8,036-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Parker's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
