Rodman's building exposure, zone by zone

Rodman against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Rodman's 9th national percentile and its 19th 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, Rodman ranks 28,783 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,464 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 1,041 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
