World Golf Village, FL
World Golf Village wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts World Golf Village at the 82nd national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 7,525 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts World Golf Village at the 83rd percentile, close to its 82nd-percentile risk score.
Where World Golf Village's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 68.2% of World Golf Village's 7,525 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 31.8% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to. At 7,525 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
World Golf Village against the rest of the country
Inside Florida, World Golf Village sits at just the 53rd percentile even though it scores 82nd 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, World Golf Village ranks 5,765 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,274 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 450 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
World Golf Village and the insurance market
At the 82nd percentile nationally, World Golf Village carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 68.2% of World Golf Village's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
