Venice Gardens, FL
Venice Gardens, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Venice Gardens's 1,766 buildings earn a 70th-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Venice Gardens's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 69th percentile nationally.
Venice Gardens's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Venice Gardens's buildings (99.8% of 1,766) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Venice Gardens compares
Inside Florida, Venice Gardens sits at just the 26th percentile even though it scores 70th 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, Venice Gardens ranks 9,514 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,166 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 707 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Venice Gardens
Venice Gardens's 70th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Venice Gardens's 99.8% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Venice Gardens's figures come from
Venice Gardens's 70th-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 Venice Gardens's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
