Carlisle Barracks, PA
How exposed is Carlisle Barracks to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Carlisle Barracks at the 8th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 249 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Carlisle Barracks at the 9th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Carlisle Barracks's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 93.6% of Carlisle Barracks's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 6.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.

Shopping for coverage in Carlisle Barracks
Carlisle Barracks's low rating (8th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Carlisle Barracks's 93.6% 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.
More on how this number was built
Carlisle Barracks's 8th-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 Carlisle Barracks, see the exposure-zones guide.
