Seminole, FL
How exposed is Seminole to wildfire?
Seminole sits at the 59th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 7,364 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Seminole's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 60th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 4.2% of Seminole's 7,364 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 95.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 7,364 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Seminole ranks
Seminole's 59th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 13th ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 46 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Seminole ranks 12,792 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,318 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 827 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Seminole and the insurance market
At the 59th national percentile, Seminole rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Seminole
With 95.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Seminole gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Seminole's 59th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Seminole, see the exposure-zones guide.
