Village Green, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
6thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Village Green at the 6th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 904 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Village Green's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 6th percentile nationally.

Village Green's building exposure, zone by zone

904Total buildings
29.2%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
70.8%Minimal exposure

Village Green rates 70.8% Minimal exposure against just 29.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 904 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Where Village Green ranks

There's little gap between Village Green's 6th national percentile and its 10th percentile inside New York, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Village Green ranks 29,607 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,689 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 1,166 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

At the 6th national percentile, Village Green 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

With 70.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Village Green gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
