Campbelltown, PA
Campbelltown, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Campbelltown at the 12th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 1,901 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Campbelltown's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 11th percentile nationally.
Where Campbelltown's buildings actually sit
Most of Campbelltown's buildings (66.4%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Campbelltown ranks
Campbelltown scores 12th nationally and 10th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Campbelltown ranks 27,838 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,759 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,789 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Campbelltown and the insurance market
At the 12th national percentile, Campbelltown 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Campbelltown (66.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
