Pinellas Park, FL
Pinellas Park, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Pinellas Park sits at the 65th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 23,327 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Pinellas Park at the 66th percentile, close to its 65th-percentile risk score.
Where Pinellas Park's buildings actually sit
Pinellas Park rates 96.9% Minimal exposure against just 3.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 23,327 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 23,327 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.

Shopping for coverage in Pinellas Park

Hardening a home in Pinellas Park
With 96.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Pinellas Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
