Hazardville, CT
Hazardville, CT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hazardville's 2,882 buildings earn a 20th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hazardville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 19th percentile nationally.
Where Hazardville's buildings actually sit
Most of Hazardville's buildings (38.9% of 2,882) 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.
Where Hazardville ranks
Hazardville scores 20th nationally and 9th within Connecticut — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hazardville ranks 25,204 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,609 by building count (1 is largest). Within Connecticut alone, it ranks 196 of 214 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Connecticut on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hazardville
Hazardville's low rating (20th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 38.9% of Hazardville 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.
