Daisytown, PA
Daisytown, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Daisytown's 218 buildings earn a 30th-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 Daisytown at the 29th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Daisytown's buildings (50.5%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Daisytown ranks
Daisytown scores 30th nationally and 39th 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, Daisytown ranks 21,978 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,217 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,217 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Daisytown and the insurance market
At the 30th national percentile, Daisytown rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 50.5% of Daisytown's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Daisytown's 30th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Daisytown, see the exposure-zones guide.
