Pittman, FL
How exposed is Pittman to wildfire?
Pittman's 161 buildings earn a 89th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Pittman's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 90th percentile nationally.
Where Pittman's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 100% of Pittman's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 161 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Pittman ranks
Pittman scores 89th nationally and 80th within Florida — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Pittman ranks 3,336 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,372 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 194 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Pittman
At the 89th percentile nationally, Pittman carries the very 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 100% of Pittman in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
