Armagh, PA
How exposed is Armagh to wildfire?
USFS scores Armagh at the 44th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 82 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Armagh at the 45th percentile, close to its 44th-percentile risk score.
Armagh's building exposure, zone by zone
53.7% of Armagh's 82 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 46.3% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Armagh ranks
Armagh's 71st-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 44th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally.

Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 571 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Armagh
At the 44th national percentile, Armagh rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Armagh (53.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
