Bronxville, NY
How exposed is Bronxville to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Bronxville at the 28th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,266 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 Bronxville at the 31st percentile, close to its 28th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
68.5% of Bronxville's 1,266 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 31.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Bronxville ranks
Within New York, Bronxville ranks higher (58th percentile) than it does nationally (28th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bronxville ranks 22,790 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,270 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 542 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Bronxville and the insurance market
Bronxville's moderate rating (28th 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
Even with 68.5% of Bronxville 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.
