Cleona, PA
How exposed is Cleona to wildfire?
Cleona sits at the 12th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,012 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Cleona at the 13th percentile, close to its 12th-percentile risk score.
Cleona's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 94.9% of Cleona's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 5.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Cleona against the rest of the country
Cleona's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (11th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (12th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cleona ranks 27,716 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,849 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,782 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Cleona
At the 12th national percentile, Cleona 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
Cleona's 94.9% 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.
