Amityville, NY
How exposed is Amityville to wildfire?
USFS scores Amityville at the 37th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 3,780 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Amityville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 31st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
94.7% of Amityville's 3,780 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 5.3% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Amityville ranks
Within New York, Amityville ranks higher (80th percentile) than it does nationally (37th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Amityville ranks 19,733 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,445 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 249 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Amityville
Amityville's moderate rating (37th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Amityville's 94.7% 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 Amityville's figures come from
Amityville's 37th-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 Amityville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
