Duanesburg, NY
Duanesburg, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Duanesburg lands at the 16th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 244 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Duanesburg at the 15th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Duanesburg's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Duanesburg's 244 counted buildings, 78.7% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Duanesburg compares
Duanesburg's 38th-percentile standing inside New York outpaces its 16th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally.

Within New York alone, it ranks 801 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Duanesburg and the insurance market
Duanesburg's low rating (16th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
