Edgeworth, PA
Edgeworth wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Edgeworth lands at the 33rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 894 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Edgeworth at the 33rd national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Edgeworth's building exposure, zone by zone

Shopping for coverage in Edgeworth
At the 33rd national percentile, Edgeworth rates moderate 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Edgeworth (71.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
