Edie, PA
Edie, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Edie at the 45th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 73 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Edie at the 45th percentile, close to its 45th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Edie: 84.9% of its 73 buildings, versus 15.1% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Edie ranks
Edie's 72nd-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 45th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edie ranks 17,437 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,187 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 560 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
Edie's elevated rating (45th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 84.9% of Edie in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Edie's 45th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Edie, see the exposure-zones guide.
