Farmington, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Farmington's 333 buildings earn a 54th-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 Farmington at the 53rd national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
