Fredericksburg (Lebanon), PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
20thpercentile nationally

Fredericksburg (Lebanon) sits at the 20th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 752 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fredericksburg (Lebanon) at the 21st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Fredericksburg (Lebanon)'s building exposure, zone by zone

752Total buildings
30.9%Direct exposure
14.4%Indirect exposure
54.8%Minimal exposure

Most of Fredericksburg (Lebanon)'s buildings (54.8% of 752) 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.

How Fredericksburg (Lebanon) compares

Fredericksburg (Lebanon) scores 20th nationally and 22nd 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, Fredericksburg (Lebanon) ranks 25,228 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,107 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,559 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.

Fredericksburg (Lebanon) and the insurance market

Fredericksburg (Lebanon)'s low wildfire rating (20th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.

What would actually reduce this score

Even with 54.8% of Fredericksburg (Lebanon) outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
