Williston Park, NY
Williston Park wildfire risk explained
Williston Park sits at the 28th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,725 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Williston Park at the 31st national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Williston Park's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Williston Park's buildings (100% of 2,725) 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.
How Williston Park compares
Williston Park's 57th-percentile standing inside New York outpaces its 28th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Williston Park ranks 22,856 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,889 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 551 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
Williston Park's moderate rating (28th 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 Williston Park
With 100% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Williston Park 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
Williston Park's 28th-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 Williston Park, see the exposure-zones guide.
