Crompond, NY
Crompond wildfire risk explained
Crompond's 766 buildings earn a 40th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Crompond at the 39th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
59.8% of Crompond's 766 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 458 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 40.2% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Crompond against the rest of the country

Within New York alone, it ranks 208 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Crompond
Crompond's moderate wildfire rating (40th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 59.8% of Crompond 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.
