Roessleville, NY
How exposed is Roessleville to wildfire?
USFS scores Roessleville at the 10th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 5,172 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Roessleville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 11th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 5.4% of Roessleville's 5,172 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 94.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 5,172 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Roessleville against the rest of the country
Roessleville's risk sits at a similar level relative to New York (24th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (10th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roessleville ranks 28,244 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,331 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 976 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Roessleville and the insurance market
Roessleville'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 Roessleville
With 94.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Roessleville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Roessleville's 10th-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 Roessleville, see the exposure-zones guide.
