Alburtis, PA
How exposed is Alburtis to wildfire?
Alburtis sits at the 18th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 661 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Alburtis's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Alburtis rates 55.8% Minimal exposure against just 35.4% Direct and 8.8% Indirect — of 661 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Alburtis ranks
Alburtis scores 18th nationally and 19th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Alburtis ranks 25,789 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,051 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,605 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Alburtis
Alburtis's low rating (18th 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 Alburtis
Alburtis's 55.8% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
