Crafton, PA
How exposed is Crafton to wildfire?
Crafton's 2,343 buildings earn a 26th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Crafton at the 27th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Crafton's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Crafton's buildings (95.2% of 2,343) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Crafton ranks
Crafton scores 26th nationally and 31st within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Crafton ranks 23,304 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,619 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,375 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Crafton
Crafton's moderate rating (26th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 95.2% of Crafton outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Crafton's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Crafton's 23,304-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Crafton's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
