Munsey Park, NY
Munsey Park wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Munsey Park lands at the 32nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 877 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Munsey Park at the 33rd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Munsey Park's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Munsey Park's buildings (63.6% of 877) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.

Shopping for coverage in Munsey Park
Munsey Park's moderate rating (32nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Munsey Park's 63.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Munsey Park's 32nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Munsey Park, see the exposure-zones guide.
