Feasterville wildfire risk explained

Moderate
25thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Feasterville at the 25th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 817 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Feasterville at the 25th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Feasterville's building exposure, zone by zone

817Total buildings
29.5%Direct exposure
30.8%Indirect exposure
39.7%Minimal exposure

USFS classifies 39.7% of Feasterville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 29.5% Direct and 30.8% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.

Where Feasterville ranks

There's little gap between Feasterville's 25th national percentile and its 29th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Feasterville ranks 23,585 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,487 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,405 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 25th national percentile, Feasterville 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 39.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Feasterville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
