Duncansville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Duncansville's 654 buildings earn a 33rd-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Duncansville at the 33rd percentile, close to its 33rd-percentile risk score.
Duncansville's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Duncansville's buildings (48.8% of 654) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Duncansville compares
Duncansville scores 33rd nationally and 44th 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, Duncansville ranks 21,250 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,155 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,121 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
Duncansville's moderate rating (33rd 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 Duncansville
