Conneautville, PA
Conneautville wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Conneautville at the 36th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 453 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Conneautville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 37th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Conneautville's buildings (61.2%) 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 Conneautville compares
Within Pennsylvania, Conneautville ranks higher (52nd percentile) than it does nationally (36th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Conneautville ranks 20,213 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,227 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 952 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
Conneautville's moderate wildfire rating (36th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Conneautville's 61.2% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Conneautville's figures come from
Conneautville's 36th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Conneautville's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
