Weston, FL
Weston, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Weston sits at the 100th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 17,064 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Weston at the 100th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
49.1% of Weston's 17,064 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 4.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 17,064 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Weston ranks
There's little gap between Weston's 100th national percentile and its 100th percentile inside Florida, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Weston ranks 39 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 846 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 1 of 955 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Weston
Weston's very high rating (100th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Weston's 49.1% 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.
