Kenmore, NY
Kenmore, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Kenmore at the 10th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 7,181 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 Kenmore at the 13th percentile, close to its 10th-percentile risk score.
Kenmore's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 0.1% of Kenmore's 7,181 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 99.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 7,181 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Kenmore ranks
There's little gap between Kenmore's 10th national percentile and its 22nd percentile inside New York, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Kenmore ranks 28,531 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,385 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 1,006 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Kenmore
Kenmore's low rating (10th 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
Even with 99.9% of Kenmore outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
