Huntington Center, VT
Huntington Center, VT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Huntington Center at the 17th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 85 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Huntington Center at the 17th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
85 buildings are counted in Huntington Center, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Huntington Center ranks
Huntington Center's 69th-percentile standing inside Vermont outpaces its 17th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Huntington Center ranks 26,265 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,712 by building count (1 is largest). Within Vermont alone, it ranks 56 of 179 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Vermont on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Huntington Center
Huntington Center's low rating (17th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Huntington Center (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Huntington Center's 17th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Huntington Center, see the exposure-zones guide.
