East Uniontown, PA
How exposed is East Uniontown to wildfire?
East Uniontown sits at the 32nd 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 1,128 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks East Uniontown at the 31st national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where East Uniontown's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 42.1% of East Uniontown's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 19.7% Direct and 38.2% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
