Floral Park, NY
How exposed is Floral Park to wildfire?
Floral Park's 5,518 buildings earn a 18th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Floral Park at the 24th percentile, close to its 18th-percentile risk score.
Where Floral Park's buildings actually sit
Floral Park rates 99.8% Minimal exposure against just 0.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 5,518 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 5,518 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Floral Park against the rest of the country
Floral Park's 41st-percentile standing inside New York outpaces its 18th 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, Floral Park ranks 26,011 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,120 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 768 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
Floral Park's low rating (18th 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 99.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Floral Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
