Radisson, NY
How exposed is Radisson to wildfire?
Radisson's 2,182 buildings earn a 10th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Radisson at the 10th percentile, close to its 10th-percentile risk score.
Radisson's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Radisson's 2,182 counted buildings, 57.9% carry Direct exposure and only 0.9% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Radisson compares
There's little gap between Radisson's 10th national percentile and its 24th percentile inside New York, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Radisson ranks 28,287 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,986 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 981 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Radisson's low wildfire rating (10th 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.
Hardening a home in Radisson
Because Direct exposure dominates in Radisson (57.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
