Seville, FL
Seville, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Seville lands at the 91st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 488 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Seville at the 92nd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
93.7% of Seville's 488 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 457 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 6.4% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Seville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Seville's 91st national percentile and its 83rd percentile inside Florida, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Seville ranks 2,989 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,560 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 169 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
At the 91st percentile nationally, Seville 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 93.7% of Seville 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.
