North New Hyde Park, NY
North New Hyde Park, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, North New Hyde 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 5,532 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, North New Hyde Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 35th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
North New Hyde Park rates 99% Minimal exposure against just 1.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 5,532 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 5,532 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How North New Hyde Park compares
North New Hyde Park's 68th-percentile standing inside New York outpaces its 32nd national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally.

What this risk score means for insurance
North New Hyde 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
North New Hyde Park's 99% 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.
