Parc, NY
How exposed is Parc to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Parc at the 8th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 216 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Parc's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 9th percentile nationally.
Where Parc's buildings actually sit
Only 9.3% of Parc's 216 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 90.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Parc ranks
Parc scores 8th nationally and 18th within New York — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Parc ranks 28,973 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,280 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 1,063 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Parc and the insurance market
Parc's low wildfire rating (8th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 90.7% of Parc outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Parc's 8th-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 Parc, see the exposure-zones guide.
