Woodbourne, NY
Woodbourne, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Woodbourne lands at the 33rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 413 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Woodbourne's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 34th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 80.6% of Woodbourne's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 19.4% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 333 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.

Woodbourne and the insurance market
Woodbourne's moderate rating (33rd 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 Woodbourne
With 80.6% of Woodbourne in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
