Holley, NY
Holley, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Holley at the 7th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 783 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Holley at the 7th percentile, close to its 7th-percentile risk score.
Where Holley's buildings actually sit
783 buildings are counted in Holley, and 54.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 41% in Direct exposure or the 4.7% rated Minimal.
How Holley compares
Holley's risk sits at a similar level relative to New York (14th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (7th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Holley ranks 29,259 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,789 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 1,111 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Holley and the insurance market
Holley's low rating (7th 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 Holley
Holley's 54.3% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
