Westbrook Center, CT
Westbrook Center, CT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Westbrook Center at the 24th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 1,865 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Westbrook Center at the 24th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Westbrook Center rates 46.4% Minimal exposure against just 10.9% Direct and 42.7% Indirect — of 1,865 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Westbrook Center ranks
Westbrook Center scores 24th nationally and 22nd within Connecticut — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Westbrook Center ranks 23,851 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,862 by building count (1 is largest). Within Connecticut alone, it ranks 168 of 214 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Connecticut on its state page.
Westbrook Center and the insurance market
Westbrook Center's moderate wildfire rating (24th 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 Westbrook Center
Westbrook Center's 46.4% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
