Coventry, VT
Coventry wildfire risk explained
Coventry sits at the 12th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 74 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Coventry's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 12th percentile nationally.
Where Coventry's buildings actually sit
74 buildings are counted in Coventry, and 60.8% 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 Coventry compares
Coventry scores 12th nationally and 8th within Vermont — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Coventry ranks 27,876 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,151 by building count (1 is largest). Within Vermont alone, it ranks 164 of 179 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Vermont on its state page.
Coventry and the insurance market
Coventry's low rating (12th 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
Coventry's 60.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
