Glenwood Landing, NY
Glenwood Landing, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Glenwood Landing lands at the 29th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,566 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Glenwood Landing at the 30th percentile, close to its 29th-percentile risk score.
Glenwood Landing's building exposure, zone by zone
77.4% of Glenwood Landing's 1,566 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 19.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Glenwood Landing against the rest of the country
Glenwood Landing's 60th-percentile standing inside New York outpaces its 29th 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, Glenwood Landing ranks 22,475 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,898 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 514 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
Glenwood Landing's moderate wildfire rating (29th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Glenwood Landing
Even with 77.4% of Glenwood Landing 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.
