Edinburg, PA
Edinburg, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Edinburg at the 35th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 116 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Edinburg at the 35th percentile, close to its 35th-percentile risk score.
Edinburg's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 77.6% of Edinburg's 116 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 22.4% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Edinburg compares
Compare Edinburg's two percentiles: 51st within Pennsylvania, only 35th nationally — a gap of 15 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edinburg ranks 20,432 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,380 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 986 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 35th national percentile, Edinburg 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 Edinburg (77.6% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Edinburg's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Edinburg's 20,432-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Edinburg's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
