Eden, NY
Eden, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Eden's 1,812 buildings earn a 30th-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 Eden at the 31st national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Eden's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 79.8% of Eden's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 19.9% Indirect share and far above its 0.3% Minimal share — a profile where 1,446 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Eden ranks
Eden's 63rd-percentile standing inside New York outpaces its 30th 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, Eden ranks 22,161 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,027 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 476 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Eden and the insurance market
At the 30th national percentile, Eden rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Eden's 79.8% 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.
