Fawn Grove, PA
How exposed is Fawn Grove to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Fawn Grove lands at the 10th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 311 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Fawn Grove at the 9th percentile, close to its 10th-percentile risk score.
Where Fawn Grove's buildings actually sit
51.8% of Fawn Grove's 311 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 161 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 46.6% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 1.6% are Minimal.
How Fawn Grove compares
Fawn Grove scores 10th nationally and 8th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fawn Grove ranks 28,250 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,353 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,823 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Fawn Grove and the insurance market
Fawn Grove's low rating (10th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Fawn Grove (51.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
