Daniels Farm, CT
Daniels Farm, CT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Daniels Farm sits at the 27th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,305 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Daniels Farm at the 27th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Daniels Farm's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Daniels Farm: 73.9% of its 2,305 buildings, versus 2% Indirect and 24.1% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

Shopping for coverage in Daniels Farm
Daniels Farm's moderate rating (27th 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Daniels Farm (73.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
