Windsor Locks, CT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Windsor Locks's 5,913 buildings earn a 24th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Windsor Locks at the 23rd national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Windsor Locks's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Windsor Locks's buildings (79.4% of 5,913) 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 5,913 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Windsor Locks compares
Windsor Locks's risk sits at a similar level relative to Connecticut (21st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (24th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Windsor Locks ranks 23,909 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,912 by building count (1 is largest). Within Connecticut alone, it ranks 170 of 214 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Connecticut on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Windsor Locks
Windsor Locks'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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 79.4% of Windsor Locks outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
