Parishville, NY
Parishville, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Parishville's 443 buildings earn a 12th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Parishville at the 12th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Parishville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 88.9% of Parishville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 11.1% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 394 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Parishville compares
Compare Parishville's two percentiles: 28th within New York, only 12th nationally — a gap of 16 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Parishville ranks 27,897 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,402 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 930 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Parishville and the insurance market
Parishville's low wildfire rating (12th 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Parishville (88.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Parishville's 12th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Parishville, see the exposure-zones guide.
