USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Corfu at the 5th percentile, close to its 6th-percentile risk score.
Corfu's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Corfu: 76.8% of its 413 buildings, versus 23.2% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Corfu against the rest of the country
Corfu scores 6th nationally and 7th 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, Corfu ranks 29,762 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,971 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 1,191 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Corfu
Corfu's low rating (6th 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
With 76.8% of Corfu 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.
