Turin, NY
How exposed is Turin to wildfire?
Turin sits at the 6th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 204 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Turin at the 6th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Turin's building exposure, zone by zone
94.6% of Turin's 204 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 193 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 5.4% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Turin against the rest of the country
Turin scores 6th nationally and 9th within New York — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Turin ranks 29,702 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,704 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 1,178 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Turin and the insurance market
At the 6th national percentile, Turin rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Turin
Because Direct exposure dominates in Turin (94.6%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
