Colver, PA
Colver, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Colver's 541 buildings earn a 39th-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 Colver at the 39th percentile, close to its 39th-percentile risk score.
Where Colver's buildings actually sit
Most of Colver's buildings (54%) 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 Colver compares
Compare Colver's two percentiles: 61st within Pennsylvania, only 39th nationally — a gap of 21 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Colver ranks 19,204 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,709 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 784 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Colver
Colver's moderate rating (39th 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 54% of Colver'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.
