Eagle, PA
Eagle wildfire risk explained
Eagle's 134 buildings earn a 9th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Eagle's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 8th percentile nationally.
Where Eagle's buildings actually sit
72.4% of Eagle's 134 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 23.1% Direct and 4.5% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Eagle ranks
There's little gap between Eagle's 9th national percentile and its 7th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eagle ranks 28,728 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,561 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,860 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Eagle and the insurance market
At the 9th national percentile, Eagle rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Eagle
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Eagle (72.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Eagle's 9th-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 Eagle, see the exposure-zones guide.
