Breinigsville, PA
How exposed is Breinigsville to wildfire?
Breinigsville sits at the 8th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,938 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 Breinigsville at the 9th percentile, close to its 8th-percentile risk score.
Where Breinigsville's buildings actually sit
Breinigsville rates 76.5% Minimal exposure against just 23.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 1,938 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Breinigsville against the rest of the country
Breinigsville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (5th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (8th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Breinigsville ranks 29,009 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,652 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,885 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Breinigsville
At the 8th national percentile, Breinigsville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 76.5% of Breinigsville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Breinigsville's 8th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Breinigsville, see the exposure-zones guide.
