What "at risk" means for the buildings here

Where Barkeyville ranks
Barkeyville's 61st-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 40th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Barkeyville ranks 19,081 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,235 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 770 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
Barkeyville's moderate rating (40th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Barkeyville's 72.4% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
