Cranesville, PA
Cranesville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Cranesville's 323 buildings earn a 34th-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 Cranesville at the 35th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Cranesville (53.3% of 323 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 46.8% sit in the Direct zone.
Cranesville against the rest of the country

Shopping for coverage in Cranesville
At the 34th national percentile, Cranesville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Cranesville (53.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
