How exposed is Rainbow Park to wildfire?

High
78thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rainbow Park at the 78th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 761 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rainbow Park at the 80th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

How Rainbow Park compares

Inside Florida, Rainbow Park sits at just the 44th percentile even though it scores 78th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

Within Florida alone, it ranks 536 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.

Rainbow Park and the insurance market

At the 78th percentile nationally, Rainbow Park carries the 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.
