Bradenville, PA
Bradenville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Bradenville at the 34th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 326 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Bradenville at the 33rd national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Bradenville's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Bradenville (81.3% of 326 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 18.7% sit in the Direct zone.
How Bradenville compares
Bradenville scores 34th nationally and 47th 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, Bradenville ranks 20,870 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,931 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,059 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Bradenville
Bradenville's moderate wildfire rating (34th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Bradenville (81.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
