Lyndonville, NY
Lyndonville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Lyndonville at the 4th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 442 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lyndonville at the 4th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 40.5% of Lyndonville's 442 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 59.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Lyndonville ranks
Lyndonville's risk sits at a similar level relative to New York (3rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (4th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way.

Within New York alone, it ranks 1,260 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lyndonville
At the 4th national percentile, Lyndonville rates low 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 Lyndonville
With 59.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Lyndonville 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
Lyndonville's 4th-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 Lyndonville, see the exposure-zones guide.
