Weymouth Town, MA
Weymouth Town wildfire risk explained
Weymouth Town's 18,044 buildings earn a 21st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Weymouth Town's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 19th percentile nationally.
Weymouth Town's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Weymouth Town's buildings (92.3% of 18,044) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 18,044 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Weymouth Town against the rest of the country
Weymouth Town's risk sits at a similar level relative to Massachusetts (26th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (21st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Weymouth Town ranks 24,932 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 795 by building count (1 is largest). Within Massachusetts alone, it ranks 185 of 248 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Massachusetts on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Weymouth Town
Weymouth Town's moderate rating (21st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 92.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Weymouth Town gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Weymouth Town's 21st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Weymouth Town, see the exposure-zones guide.
