Warrington, FL
Warrington wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Warrington at the 85th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 8,261 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Warrington at the 84th percentile, close to its 85th-percentile risk score.
Where Warrington's buildings actually sit
Most of Warrington's buildings (42.6% of 8,261) 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. At 8,261 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Warrington against the rest of the country
Warrington's 85th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 62nd ranking inside Florida does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 22 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Warrington ranks 4,886 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,024 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 362 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Warrington
Warrington's 85th-percentile, very 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.
Hardening a home in Warrington
With 42.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Warrington gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
