Enola, PA
How exposed is Enola to wildfire?
Enola's 2,098 buildings earn a 40th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Enola at the 38th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Enola's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 71.8% of Enola's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 9.3% Direct and 18.9% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Enola against the rest of the country
Enola's 64th-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 40th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Enola ranks 18,857 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,197 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 732 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Enola and the insurance market
At the 40th national percentile, Enola rates elevated 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 Enola
Even with 71.8% of Enola outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
