Nazareth College, NY
Nazareth College, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Nazareth College lands at the 6th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 40 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Nazareth College at the 7th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Nazareth College's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 17.5% of Nazareth College's 40 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 82.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Nazareth College ranks
There's little gap between Nazareth College's 6th national percentile and its 10th percentile inside New York, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows.

Shopping for coverage in Nazareth College
At the 6th national percentile, Nazareth College rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 82.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Nazareth College gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Nazareth College's figures come from
Nazareth College's 6th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Nazareth College's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
