Douglassville, PA
Douglassville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Douglassville lands at the 13th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 152 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Douglassville at the 12th percentile, close to its 13th-percentile risk score.
Douglassville's building exposure, zone by zone
71.7% of Douglassville's 152 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 28.3% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Douglassville ranks
Douglassville scores 13th nationally and 12th 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, Douglassville ranks 27,463 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,823 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,759 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Douglassville and the insurance market
At the 13th national percentile, Douglassville rates low 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
Because 71.7% of Douglassville'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
Douglassville's 13th-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 Douglassville, see the exposure-zones guide.
