Mattituck's building exposure, zone by zone
49.2% of Mattituck's 3,622 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 1,781 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 25.1% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 25.8% are Minimal.
Where Mattituck ranks
Mattituck's 84th-percentile standing inside New York outpaces its 40th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mattituck ranks 18,941 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,630 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 203 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
Mattituck's moderate rating (40th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
