Separately from the risk score above, Commodore's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 41st percentile nationally.
Where Commodore's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Commodore: 68.8% of its 176 buildings, versus 31.3% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Commodore compares
Commodore's 63rd-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 40th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Commodore ranks 18,918 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,801 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 742 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
At the 40th national percentile, Commodore rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Commodore
With 68.8% of Commodore 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.
