Levittown, NY
Levittown wildfire risk explained
Levittown sits at the 22nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 17,302 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Levittown at the 28th national percentile — 6 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Levittown's buildings actually sit
Levittown rates 99.8% Minimal exposure against just 0.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 17,302 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 17,302 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Levittown compares
Within New York, Levittown ranks higher (48th percentile) than it does nationally (22nd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Levittown ranks 24,462 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 828 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 670 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Levittown
At the 22nd national percentile, Levittown rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Levittown
Even with 99.8% of Levittown 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.
More on how this number was built
Levittown's 22nd-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 Levittown, see the exposure-zones guide.
