Grandyle Village, NY
How exposed is Grandyle Village to wildfire?
Grandyle Village sits at the 13th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,225 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Grandyle Village at the 11th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Grandyle Village's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 24.5% of Grandyle Village's 2,225 buildings carry Direct exposure and 7.2% carry Indirect; the remaining 68.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Grandyle Village compares

Shopping for coverage in Grandyle Village
At the 13th national percentile, Grandyle Village rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 68.3% of Grandyle Village 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.
