Moravia, NY
Moravia wildfire risk explained
Moravia's 739 buildings earn a 13th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Moravia at the 12th percentile, close to its 13th-percentile risk score.
Moravia's building exposure, zone by zone
63.2% of Moravia's 739 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 36.8% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Moravia against the rest of the country
Within New York, Moravia ranks higher (31st percentile) than it does nationally (13th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Moravia ranks 27,489 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,234 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 886 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Moravia
Moravia's low wildfire rating (13th 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 Moravia
Because 63.2% of Moravia's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
