Allison Park, PA
Allison Park wildfire risk explained
Allison Park sits at the 29th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 8,402 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Allison Park at the 30th percentile, close to its 29th-percentile risk score.
Where Allison Park's buildings actually sit
8,402 buildings are counted in Allison Park, and 51.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 41.6% rated Minimal. At 8,402 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
