Pinewood, FL
How exposed is Pinewood to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Pinewood at the 56th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 3,808 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Pinewood at the 62nd percentile, close to its 56th-percentile risk score.
Where Pinewood's buildings actually sit
Most of Pinewood's buildings (98.1% of 3,808) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Pinewood against the rest of the country
Pinewood ranks lower within Florida (9th percentile statewide) than its 56th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Pinewood ranks 13,951 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,416 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 869 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Pinewood and the insurance market
At the 56th national percentile, Pinewood rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 98.1% of Pinewood 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.
