Tuxedo Park, NY
Tuxedo Park, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Tuxedo Park at the 52nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 448 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Tuxedo Park at the 50th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Tuxedo Park's buildings actually sit
448 buildings are counted in Tuxedo Park, and 96% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0.9% rated Minimal.
Tuxedo Park against the rest of the country
Tuxedo Park's 96th-percentile standing inside New York outpaces its 52nd 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, Tuxedo Park ranks 15,226 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,316 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 50 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Tuxedo Park and the insurance market
At the 52nd national percentile, Tuxedo Park rates elevated 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Tuxedo Park (96%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
