Lynbrook, NY
Lynbrook, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Lynbrook at the 30th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 6,595 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lynbrook at the 32nd national percentile — 2 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
Most of Lynbrook's buildings (99.4% of 6,595) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 6,595 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Lynbrook ranks
Compare Lynbrook's two percentiles: 63rd within New York, only 30th nationally — a gap of 34 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lynbrook ranks 22,128 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,630 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 473 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 30th national percentile, Lynbrook 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 Lynbrook
Lynbrook's 99.4% 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.
Where Lynbrook's figures come from
Lynbrook's 30th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Lynbrook's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
