Unadilla, NY
How exposed is Unadilla to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Unadilla at the 13th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 658 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Unadilla at the 12th percentile, close to its 13th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
55.6% of Unadilla's 658 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 44.4% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Unadilla against the rest of the country
Unadilla's 31st-percentile standing inside New York outpaces its 13th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally.

Within New York alone, it ranks 890 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Unadilla
Unadilla's low rating (13th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Unadilla
Because 55.6% of Unadilla's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
