Camp Hill, PA
Camp Hill wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Camp Hill at the 17th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 3,654 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Camp Hill at the 18th percentile, close to its 17th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Camp Hill rates 91.7% Minimal exposure against just 8.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 3,654 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Camp Hill compares
There's little gap between Camp Hill's 17th national percentile and its 17th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Camp Hill ranks 26,294 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,578 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,651 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Camp Hill and the insurance market
Camp Hill's low rating (17th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Camp Hill
Even with 91.7% of Camp Hill 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.
