Dunmore, PA
How exposed is Dunmore to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Dunmore lands at the 48th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 6,320 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Dunmore at the 47th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Dunmore's building exposure, zone by zone
6,320 buildings are counted in Dunmore, and 61% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 3.5% in Direct exposure or the 35.6% rated Minimal. At 6,320 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Dunmore against the rest of the country
Compare Dunmore's two percentiles: 77th within Pennsylvania, only 48th nationally — a gap of 29 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state.

Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 459 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dunmore

Hardening a home in Dunmore
Because 61% of Dunmore'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.
