Callimont, PA
Callimont, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Callimont lands at the 59th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 35 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Callimont at the 58th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Callimont's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Callimont: 100% of its 35 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Callimont compares

Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 85 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Callimont and the insurance market
Callimont's elevated wildfire rating (59th 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.
