Flourtown, PA
Flourtown, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Flourtown at the 21st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 1,939 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Flourtown's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 22nd percentile nationally.
Flourtown's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Flourtown's buildings (65.5% of 1,939) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Flourtown against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Flourtown's 21st national percentile and its 23rd percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Flourtown ranks 24,816 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,649 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,527 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Flourtown
At the 21st national percentile, Flourtown rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 65.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Flourtown gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
