Hastings-on-Hudson, NY
Hastings-on-Hudson, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hastings-on-Hudson's 2,423 buildings earn a 38th-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hastings-on-Hudson's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 36th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 62.2% of Hastings-on-Hudson's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 37.7% Direct and 0.2% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Hastings-on-Hudson against the rest of the country
Compare Hastings-on-Hudson's two percentiles: 82nd within New York, only 38th nationally — a gap of 43 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hastings-on-Hudson ranks 19,418 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,457 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 235 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
Hastings-on-Hudson's moderate rating (38th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Hastings-on-Hudson
With 62.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Hastings-on-Hudson gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Hastings-on-Hudson's 38th-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 Hastings-on-Hudson, see the exposure-zones guide.
