Mineville, NY
Mineville, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Mineville sits at the 22nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 732 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Mineville at the 22nd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Mineville's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Mineville's 732 counted buildings, 69.3% 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.
Where Mineville ranks
Compare Mineville's two percentiles: 48th within New York, only 22nd nationally — a gap of 26 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state.

Within New York alone, it ranks 675 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Mineville and the insurance market
Mineville's moderate wildfire rating (22nd 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.
Hardening a home in Mineville
Because Direct exposure dominates in Mineville (69.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
