Ackermanville, PA
Ackermanville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Ackermanville 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 341 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ackermanville at the 33rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Ackermanville's buildings actually sit
Of Ackermanville's 341 counted buildings, 82.7% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Ackermanville ranks
There's little gap between Ackermanville's 33rd national percentile and its 45th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ackermanville ranks 21,156 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,560 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,100 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Ackermanville'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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Ackermanville (82.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
