Eggertsville wildfire risk explained
Eggertsville's 7,330 buildings earn a 11th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Eggertsville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 17th percentile nationally.
Where Eggertsville's buildings actually sit
Only 10.5% of Eggertsville's 7,330 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 89.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 7,330 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Eggertsville ranks
Eggertsville's 26th-percentile standing inside New York outpaces its 11th 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, Eggertsville ranks 28,090 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,330 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 955 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Eggertsville and the insurance market
Eggertsville's low rating (11th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Eggertsville
Eggertsville's 89.5% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
