Fisherville, PA
How exposed is Fisherville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Fisherville lands at the 54th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 13 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Fisherville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 52nd percentile nationally.
Fisherville's building exposure, zone by zone
100% of Fisherville's 13 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 13 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal. This is a small settlement by building count — 13 total — so these shares describe a handful of structures, not a statistical average across thousands.
Where Fisherville ranks
Fisherville's 90th-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 54th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fisherville ranks 14,445 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,501 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 204 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
Fisherville's elevated rating (54th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
