Yorkville, NY
Yorkville, NY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Yorkville at the 4th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 1,225 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Yorkville at the 4th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Yorkville's building exposure, zone by zone
94.5% of Yorkville's 1,225 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 5.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
