Bryn Mawr, PA
Bryn Mawr, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Bryn Mawr lands at the 14th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,222 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bryn Mawr at the 14th percentile, close to its 14th-percentile risk score.
Where Bryn Mawr's buildings actually sit
Most of Bryn Mawr's buildings (89.4% of 1,222) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Bryn Mawr against the rest of the country
Bryn Mawr's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (13th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (14th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bryn Mawr ranks 27,178 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,526 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,734 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Bryn Mawr
At the 14th national percentile, Bryn Mawr 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 89.4% of Bryn Mawr 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
Bryn Mawr's 14th-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 Bryn Mawr, see the exposure-zones guide.
