Churchville, PA
Churchville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Churchville's 1,984 buildings earn a 21st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Churchville at the 21st percentile, close to its 21st-percentile risk score.
Where Churchville's buildings actually sit
Of Churchville's 1,984 counted buildings, 78% carry Direct exposure and only 17% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Churchville compares
Churchville scores 21st nationally and 23rd 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, Churchville ranks 24,877 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,522 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,530 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Churchville and the insurance market
At the 21st national percentile, Churchville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 78% of Churchville in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Churchville's 21st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Churchville, see the exposure-zones guide.
