Farmingville, NY
Farmingville, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Farmingville at the 42nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 5,140 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Farmingville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 42nd percentile nationally.
Where Farmingville's buildings actually sit
Only 23.3% of Farmingville's 5,140 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 76.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 5,140 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Farmingville ranks
Within New York, Farmingville ranks higher (87th percentile) than it does nationally (42nd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Farmingville ranks 18,276 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,358 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 167 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
At the 42nd national percentile, Farmingville rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Farmingville
With 76.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Farmingville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
