Kings Park, NY
Kings Park, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Kings Park's 5,941 buildings earn a 34th-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Kings Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 35th percentile nationally.
Where Kings Park's buildings actually sit
Only 23.7% of Kings Park's 5,941 buildings carry Direct exposure and 14.7% carry Indirect; the remaining 61.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 5,941 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Kings Park against the rest of the country
Kings Park's 74th-percentile standing inside New York outpaces its 34th 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, Kings Park ranks 20,739 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,898 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 332 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Kings Park
Kings Park's moderate wildfire rating (34th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 61.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Kings Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Kings Park's 34th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Kings Park, see the exposure-zones guide.
