Everson, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Moderate
28thpercentile nationally

Everson sits at the 28th 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 364 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Everson's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 30th percentile nationally.

Everson against the rest of the country

Everson'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, Everson ranks 22,796 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,989 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,320 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

At the 28th national percentile, Everson rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Because 96.4% of Everson'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.
