Shenorock, NY
How exposed is Shenorock to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Shenorock lands at the 33rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 736 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Shenorock at the 33rd percentile, close to its 33rd-percentile risk score.
Where Shenorock's buildings actually sit
66.4% of Shenorock's 736 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 33.6% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.

Shopping for coverage in Shenorock
Shenorock's moderate rating (33rd 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
Shenorock's 66.4% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Shenorock's 33rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Shenorock, see the exposure-zones guide.
