Edinboro, PA
How exposed is Edinboro to wildfire?
Edinboro sits at the 37th 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 1,528 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Edinboro at the 38th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Edinboro's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Edinboro (79.1% of 1,528 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 20.9% sit in the Direct zone.
How Edinboro compares
Within Pennsylvania, Edinboro ranks higher (54th percentile) than it does nationally (37th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edinboro ranks 19,959 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,048 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 911 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 37th national percentile, Edinboro rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 79.1% of Edinboro's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
