Export, PA
Export wildfire risk explained
Export's 497 buildings earn a 32nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Export at the 33rd percentile, close to its 32nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
80.5% of Export's 497 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 19.5% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Export compares
There's little gap between Export's 32nd national percentile and its 43rd percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Export ranks 21,407 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,413 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,137 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Export
At the 32nd national percentile, Export rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Export (80.5% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Export's figures come from
Export's 32nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Export's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
