East Nassau, NY
East Nassau, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, East Nassau lands at the 22nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 391 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks East Nassau at the 21st 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
100% of East Nassau's 391 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 391 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
East Nassau against the rest of the country
Within New York, East Nassau ranks higher (47th percentile) than it does nationally (22nd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, East Nassau ranks 24,717 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,396 by building count (1 is largest).

What this risk score means for insurance
East Nassau's moderate rating (22nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
