Yankeetown, FL
Yankeetown, FL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Yankeetown lands at the 95th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 506 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Yankeetown at the 93rd national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Yankeetown's buildings actually sit
Of Yankeetown's 506 counted buildings, 84.4% carry Direct exposure and only 1.2% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Yankeetown compares
Yankeetown scores 95th nationally and 94th within Florida — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Yankeetown ranks 1,441 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,238 by building count (1 is largest). Within Florida alone, it ranks 61 of 955 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Florida on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Yankeetown
Yankeetown's very high rating (95th 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 Yankeetown
With 84.4% of Yankeetown 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
Yankeetown's 95th-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 Yankeetown, see the exposure-zones guide.
