Where Sherwood Manor's buildings actually sit
Sherwood Manor rates 80.8% Minimal exposure against just 19.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 2,273 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Sherwood Manor against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Sherwood Manor's 20th national percentile and its 8th percentile inside Connecticut, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Sherwood Manor ranks 25,297 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,766 by building count (1 is largest). Within Connecticut alone, it ranks 198 of 214 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Connecticut on its state page.
Sherwood Manor and the insurance market
Sherwood Manor's low rating (20th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Sherwood Manor
