Eastlawn Gardens, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
19thpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Eastlawn Gardens lands at the 19th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,378 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Eastlawn Gardens's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 20th percentile nationally.

Eastlawn Gardens's building exposure, zone by zone

1,378Total buildings
15%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
85%Minimal exposure

Most of Eastlawn Gardens's buildings (85% of 1,378) 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 Eastlawn Gardens compares

Eastlawn Gardens's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (21st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (19th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eastlawn Gardens ranks 25,416 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,722 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,574 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

At the 19th national percentile, Eastlawn Gardens 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

Even with 85% of Eastlawn Gardens outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
