Keeseville, NY
Keeseville wildfire risk explained
Keeseville's 1,751 buildings earn a 17th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Keeseville 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
1,751 buildings are counted in Keeseville, and 41.8% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 41.7% in Direct exposure or the 16.6% rated Minimal.
Keeseville against the rest of the country
Keeseville's 39th-percentile standing inside New York 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, Keeseville ranks 26,291 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,221 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 791 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Keeseville and the insurance market
Keeseville'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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Keeseville (41.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
