Morrisville, NY
Morrisville, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Morrisville at the 10th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 424 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Morrisville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 10th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Morrisville (59.7% of 424 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 40.3% sit in the Direct zone.
How Morrisville compares
Morrisville's risk sits at a similar level relative to New York (23rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (10th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Morrisville ranks 28,406 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,764 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 994 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
Morrisville's low rating (10th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Morrisville
Morrisville's 59.7% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
