Roslyn, NY
Roslyn wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Roslyn lands at the 31st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 681 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Roslyn's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 32nd percentile nationally.
Roslyn's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 29.1% of Roslyn's 681 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 70.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Roslyn ranks
Compare Roslyn's two percentiles: 66th within New York, only 31st nationally — a gap of 35 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roslyn ranks 21,873 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,851 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 446 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Roslyn
Roslyn's moderate rating (31st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 70.9% of Roslyn 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.
More on how this number was built
Roslyn's 31st-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 Roslyn, see the exposure-zones guide.
