Slaterville Springs, NY
Slaterville Springs, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Slaterville Springs's 128 buildings earn a 25th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Slaterville Springs at the 26th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Slaterville Springs's buildings actually sit
Of Slaterville Springs's 128 counted buildings, 96.1% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.

Shopping for coverage in Slaterville Springs

What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Slaterville Springs (96.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
