What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 69.5% of Crenshaw's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 30.5% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 207 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Crenshaw against the rest of the country
Crenshaw scores 33rd nationally and 46th 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, Crenshaw ranks 21,028 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,688 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,082 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Crenshaw and the insurance market
Crenshaw's moderate wildfire rating (33rd 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.
