Trenton, FL
Trenton wildfire risk explained
Trenton's 970 buildings earn a 78th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Trenton at the 78th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Trenton's buildings actually sit
53.9% of Trenton's 970 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 523 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 46.1% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Trenton compares
Inside Florida, Trenton 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. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Trenton ranks 6,836 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,150 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 538 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Trenton and the insurance market
Trenton's high rating (78th 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 Trenton
With 53.9% of Trenton 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.
More on how this number was built
Trenton's 78th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Trenton, see the exposure-zones guide.
