Greenvale, NY
Greenvale, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Greenvale's 433 buildings earn a 30th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greenvale at the 32nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Greenvale's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Greenvale's buildings (91.2% of 433) 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.
How Greenvale compares
Compare Greenvale's two percentiles: 65th within New York, only 30th nationally — a gap of 35 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenvale ranks 21,936 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,589 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 452 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greenvale
At the 30th national percentile, Greenvale 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 91.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Greenvale gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
