Glenville, CT
Glenville wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Glenville at the 32nd national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,336 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Glenville at the 32nd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 37.2% of Glenville's 1,336 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 62.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Glenville ranks
Glenville's 54th-percentile standing inside Connecticut outpaces its 32nd 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, Glenville ranks 21,295 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,899 by building count (1 is largest). Within Connecticut alone, it ranks 99 of 214 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Connecticut on its state page.
Glenville and the insurance market
At the 32nd national percentile, Glenville rates moderate 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 Glenville
Even with 62.8% of Glenville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Glenville's 32nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Glenville, see the exposure-zones guide.
