Sunrise, FL
Sunrise wildfire risk explained
Sunrise's 18,521 buildings earn a 99th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Sunrise's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 98th percentile nationally.
Where Sunrise's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 76.5% of Sunrise's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 3.4% Direct and 20.1% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one. At 18,521 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Sunrise ranks
Sunrise scores 99th nationally and 99th 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, Sunrise ranks 416 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 771 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 13 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Sunrise
Sunrise's very high rating (99th 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.
Hardening a home in Sunrise
With 76.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Sunrise gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Sunrise's figures come from
Sunrise's 99th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Sunrise's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
