Narrowsburg, NY
How exposed is Narrowsburg to wildfire?
Narrowsburg sits at the 47th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 371 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Narrowsburg at the 47th percentile, close to its 47th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Narrowsburg's 371 counted buildings, 67.7% carry Direct exposure and only 0.3% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 67.7% of Narrowsburg in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
