Bridgeport, PA
How exposed is Bridgeport to wildfire?
Bridgeport sits at the 7th 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 1,075 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Bridgeport's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 8th percentile nationally.
Bridgeport's building exposure, zone by zone
99.2% of Bridgeport's 1,075 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 0.8% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Bridgeport compares
Bridgeport's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (5th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (7th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bridgeport ranks 29,232 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,433 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,902 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Bridgeport and the insurance market
Bridgeport's low rating (7th 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
Bridgeport's 99.2% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Bridgeport's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Bridgeport's 29,232-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Bridgeport's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
