Centerport, PA
How exposed is Centerport to wildfire?
USFS scores Centerport at the 23rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 152 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 Centerport at the 24th percentile, close to its 23rd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Centerport's buildings (70.4%) 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.
How Centerport compares
Centerport's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (26th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (23rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Centerport ranks 24,211 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,822 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,471 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Centerport's moderate wildfire rating (23rd 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.
Hardening a home in Centerport
Because 70.4% of Centerport's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
