Enlow, PA
Enlow, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Enlow lands at the 28th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 605 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Enlow at the 29th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Enlow's buildings actually sit
605 buildings are counted in Enlow, and 73.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 26.3% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Enlow ranks
Enlow's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (34th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (28th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Enlow ranks 22,768 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,771 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,316 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
Enlow's moderate rating (28th 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 ember exposure the dominant pattern in Enlow (73.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
