Trumbull Center, CT
Trumbull Center, CT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Trumbull Center's 3,603 buildings earn a 23rd-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Trumbull Center at the 23rd percentile, close to its 23rd-percentile risk score.
Trumbull Center's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Trumbull Center's buildings (63.6% of 3,603) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Trumbull Center compares
There's little gap between Trumbull Center's 23rd national percentile and its 19th percentile inside Connecticut, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Trumbull Center ranks 24,133 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,646 by building count (1 is largest). Within Connecticut alone, it ranks 174 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 23rd national percentile, Trumbull Center rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 63.6% of Trumbull Center outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Trumbull Center's 23rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Trumbull Center, see the exposure-zones guide.
