Mannsville, NY
Mannsville wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Mannsville lands at the 8th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 247 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mannsville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 8th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Mannsville's 247 counted buildings, 85.8% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Mannsville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Mannsville's 8th national percentile and its 17th percentile inside New York, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mannsville ranks 29,066 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,242 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 1,078 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Mannsville and the insurance market
At the 8th national percentile, Mannsville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Mannsville's 85.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
