Freeport, PA
Freeport, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Freeport at the 34th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 746 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Freeport at the 35th percentile, close to its 34th-percentile risk score.
Freeport's building exposure, zone by zone
91.2% of Freeport's 746 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 8.9% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Freeport compares
Freeport's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (47th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (34th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Freeport ranks 20,810 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,167 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,050 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Freeport
Freeport's moderate rating (34th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Freeport
Freeport's 91.2% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
