Bloomville, NY
Bloomville wildfire risk explained
Bloomville sits at the 25th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 170 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bloomville at the 25th percentile, close to its 25th-percentile risk score.
Where Bloomville's buildings actually sit
170 buildings are counted in Bloomville, and 67.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Bloomville compares

What this risk score means for insurance
At the 25th national percentile, Bloomville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 67.1% of Bloomville 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.
Where Bloomville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Bloomville's 23,739-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Bloomville's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
