Brockport, NY
Brockport, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Brockport lands at the 7th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 2,076 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Brockport's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 7th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 68.5% of Brockport's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 25.3% Direct and 6.2% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Brockport compares
Brockport scores 7th nationally and 13th within New York — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Brockport ranks 29,312 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,267 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 1,116 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Brockport's low rating (7th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 68.5% of Brockport outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Brockport's figures come from
Brockport's 7th-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 Brockport's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
