Progress Village, FL
Progress Village, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Progress Village sits at the 71st 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 3,326 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Progress Village's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 71st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
76.5% of Progress Village's 3,326 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 10.8% Direct and 12.8% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Progress Village ranks
Progress Village's 71st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 28th ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 43 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Progress Village ranks 9,107 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,008 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 685 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Progress Village's high rating (71st percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Progress Village's 76.5% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
