Weedsport, NY
Weedsport, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Weedsport's 836 buildings earn a 8th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Weedsport's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 9th percentile nationally.
Weedsport's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Weedsport's buildings (73.4%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Weedsport compares
Weedsport scores 8th nationally and 17th 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, Weedsport ranks 28,975 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,293 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 1,065 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Weedsport
Weedsport's low wildfire rating (8th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Weedsport
Because 73.4% of Weedsport'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.
Where Weedsport's figures come from
Weedsport's 8th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Weedsport's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
