Ehrenfeld, PA
Ehrenfeld, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Ehrenfeld lands at the 36th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 115 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ehrenfeld at the 36th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
53% of Ehrenfeld's 115 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 47% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Ehrenfeld compares
Compare Ehrenfeld's two percentiles: 53rd within Pennsylvania, only 36th nationally — a gap of 17 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ehrenfeld ranks 20,085 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,423 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 932 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Ehrenfeld
Ehrenfeld's moderate rating (36th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 53% of Ehrenfeld'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.
More on how this number was built
Ehrenfeld's 36th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Ehrenfeld, see the exposure-zones guide.
