Dauberville, PA
Dauberville wildfire risk explained
Dauberville sits at the 28th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 483 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dauberville at the 29th percentile, close to its 28th-percentile risk score.
Where Dauberville's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 88.4% of Dauberville's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 11.6% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 427 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Dauberville compares
Dauberville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (35th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (28th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dauberville ranks 22,612 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,653 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,301 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Dauberville's moderate wildfire rating (28th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 88.4% of Dauberville in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Dauberville's 28th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Dauberville, see the exposure-zones guide.
