Plantation (Broward), FL
Plantation (Broward), FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Plantation (Broward) sits at the 95th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 22,417 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Plantation (Broward)'s burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 93rd percentile nationally.
Where Plantation (Broward)'s buildings actually sit
Plantation (Broward) rates 87.6% Minimal exposure against just 12.2% Direct and 0.2% Indirect — of 22,417 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 22,417 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Plantation (Broward) compares
Plantation (Broward) scores 95th nationally and 93rd 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, Plantation (Broward) ranks 1,508 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 600 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 67 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Plantation (Broward) and the insurance market
At the 95th percentile nationally, Plantation (Broward) 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 87.6% of Plantation (Broward) 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.
