Conshohocken, PA
How exposed is Conshohocken to wildfire?
Conshohocken's 2,002 buildings earn a 16th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Conshohocken at the 16th percentile, close to its 16th-percentile risk score.
Conshohocken's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Conshohocken (80.6% of 2,002 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 1.1% sit in the Direct zone.
Conshohocken against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Conshohocken's 16th national percentile and its 16th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Conshohocken ranks 26,419 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,472 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,664 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Conshohocken and the insurance market
Conshohocken's low rating (16th 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 80.6% of Conshohocken'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.
More on how this number was built
Conshohocken's 16th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Conshohocken, see the exposure-zones guide.
