Pinecraft, FL
Pinecraft wildfire risk explained
Pinecraft's 633 buildings earn a 57th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average 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 Pinecraft at the 62nd percentile, close to its 57th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Pinecraft rates 98% Minimal exposure against just 2.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 633 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Pinecraft against the rest of the country
Inside Florida, Pinecraft sits at just the 11th percentile even though it scores 57th 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, Pinecraft ranks 13,417 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,429 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 853 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Pinecraft and the insurance market
Pinecraft's elevated rating (57th 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 Pinecraft
Even with 98% of Pinecraft 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.
More on how this number was built
Pinecraft's 57th-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 Pinecraft, see the exposure-zones guide.
