Lincoln Park, NY
Lincoln Park, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Lincoln Park at the 40th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,095 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lincoln Park at the 39th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Lincoln Park rates 74.8% Minimal exposure against just 17.4% Direct and 7.9% Indirect — of 1,095 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Lincoln Park compares

Lincoln Park and the insurance market
Lincoln Park's moderate wildfire rating (40th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Lincoln Park's 74.8% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
