Corry, PA
Corry wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Corry at the 38th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 3,157 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Corry's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 39th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Corry (55% of 3,157 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 41.6% sit in the Direct zone.
How Corry compares
Corry's 56th-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 38th 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, Corry ranks 19,614 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,219 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 862 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Corry and the insurance market
Corry's moderate rating (38th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Corry
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Corry (55% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
