Clinton (Armstrong), PA
Clinton (Armstrong), PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Clinton (Armstrong) at the 42nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 88 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Clinton (Armstrong) at the 43rd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Clinton (Armstrong)'s building exposure, zone by zone
Of Clinton (Armstrong)'s 88 counted buildings, 98.9% carry Direct exposure and only 1.1% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Clinton (Armstrong) against the rest of the country
Within Pennsylvania, Clinton (Armstrong) ranks higher (67th percentile) than it does nationally (42nd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Clinton (Armstrong) ranks 18,286 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,593 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 655 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
Clinton (Armstrong)'s elevated rating (42nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Clinton (Armstrong) (98.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
