Gasport, NY
How exposed is Gasport to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Gasport lands at the 2nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 792 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Gasport at the 2nd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
