Bonneauville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
4thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Bonneauville at the 4th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 662 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Bonneauville at the 4th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

0%Indirect exposure
51.5%Minimal exposure
