Adamsville against the rest of the country

Adamsville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (45th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (33rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Adamsville ranks 21,123 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,705 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,093 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

Adamsville'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 Adamsville
