Where Tokeneke ranks

Tokeneke scores 18th nationally and 5th within Connecticut — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tokeneke ranks 25,958 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,503 by building count (1 is largest). Within Connecticut alone, it ranks 203 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

At the 18th national percentile, Tokeneke rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

What would actually reduce this score

Tokeneke's 54.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
