Constantia, NY
Constantia, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Constantia's 807 buildings earn a 11th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Constantia at the 10th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Constantia's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Constantia's 807 counted buildings, 88.1% carry Direct exposure and only 1.5% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Constantia ranks
Constantia's risk sits at a similar level relative to New York (26th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (11th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Constantia ranks 28,147 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,577 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 958 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Constantia
Constantia's low wildfire rating (11th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Constantia
Because Direct exposure dominates in Constantia (88.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Constantia's figures come from
Constantia's 11th-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 Constantia's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
