East Marion, NY
How exposed is East Marion to wildfire?
East Marion's 1,150 buildings earn a 25th-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 East Marion at the 24th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
East Marion's building exposure, zone by zone
East Marion rates 54.1% Minimal exposure against just 43.7% Direct and 2.2% Indirect — of 1,150 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where East Marion ranks
East Marion's 53rd-percentile standing inside New York outpaces its 25th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, East Marion ranks 23,644 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,961 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 611 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
East Marion's moderate rating (25th 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
With 54.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, East Marion gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
