Huntington Station, NY
Huntington Station wildfire risk explained
Huntington Station's 10,233 buildings earn a 29th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Huntington Station at the 30th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Huntington Station's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 20% of Huntington Station's 10,233 buildings carry Direct exposure and 16.7% carry Indirect; the remaining 63.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 10,233 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
