Curryville, PA
Curryville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Curryville at the 4th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 119 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Curryville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 4th percentile nationally.
Where Curryville's buildings actually sit
85.7% of Curryville's 119 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 14.3% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Curryville against the rest of the country
Curryville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (1st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (4th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Curryville ranks 30,306 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,212 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,962 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Curryville
Curryville's low rating (4th 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 Curryville
With 85.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Curryville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Curryville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Curryville's 30,306-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Curryville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
