Cuylerville, NY
How exposed is Cuylerville to wildfire?
Cuylerville sits at the 4th 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 173 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Cuylerville at the 4th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
Cuylerville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 59.5% of Cuylerville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 40.5% Minimal share — a profile where 103 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Cuylerville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Cuylerville's 4th national percentile and its 3rd percentile inside New York, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows.

Cuylerville and the insurance market
Cuylerville's low rating (4th 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
Cuylerville's 59.5% 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.
