South Coventry against the rest of the country
South Coventry's 67th-percentile standing inside Connecticut outpaces its 37th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, South Coventry ranks 19,939 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,851 by building count (1 is largest). Within Connecticut alone, it ranks 71 of 214 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Connecticut on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
South Coventry's moderate wildfire rating (37th 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.
