Greenport, NY
Greenport, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Greenport at the 29th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,246 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Greenport's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 28th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Greenport's buildings (86.3% of 1,246) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Greenport against the rest of the country
Compare Greenport's two percentiles: 60th within New York, only 29th nationally — a gap of 32 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenport ranks 22,441 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,370 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 508 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Greenport and the insurance market
At the 29th national percentile, Greenport rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 86.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Greenport gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
