Egypt, PA
How exposed is Egypt to wildfire?
Egypt sits at the 21st 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 1,145 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Egypt's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 21st percentile nationally.
Egypt's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 14.4% of Egypt's 1,145 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 85.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Egypt compares
There's little gap between Egypt's 21st national percentile and its 23rd percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Egypt ranks 24,940 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,993 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,538 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Egypt
At the 21st national percentile, Egypt rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Egypt
Egypt's 85.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Egypt's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Egypt's 24,940-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Egypt's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
