Randolph Town, MA
Randolph Town, MA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Randolph Town at the 27th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 9,666 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Randolph Town's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 23rd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Randolph Town rates 93.1% Minimal exposure against just 4.2% Direct and 2.7% Indirect — of 9,666 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 9,666 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Randolph Town compares
Randolph Town's 59th-percentile standing inside Massachusetts outpaces its 27th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Randolph Town ranks 22,972 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,690 by building count (1 is largest). Within Massachusetts alone, it ranks 102 of 248 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Massachusetts on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Randolph Town
At the 27th national percentile, Randolph Town rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 93.1% of Randolph Town 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.
