Evansburg, PA
Evansburg wildfire risk explained
Evansburg sits at the 11th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 871 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Evansburg's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 11th percentile nationally.
Evansburg's building exposure, zone by zone
67.6% of Evansburg's 871 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 589 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 1.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 30.7% are Minimal.
Where Evansburg ranks
There's little gap between Evansburg's 11th national percentile and its 9th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Evansburg ranks 28,097 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,977 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,807 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Evansburg and the insurance market
Evansburg's low rating (11th 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Evansburg (67.6%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Evansburg's 11th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Evansburg, see the exposure-zones guide.
