Honeoye, NY
How exposed is Honeoye to wildfire?
Honeoye sits at the 31st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 510 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Honeoye's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 29th percentile nationally.
Honeoye's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 48.8% of Honeoye's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 48.4% Indirect share and far above its 2.8% Minimal share — a profile where 249 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.

Shopping for coverage in Honeoye
Honeoye's moderate rating (31st 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Honeoye (48.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
