Frisco, PA
How exposed is Frisco to wildfire?
Frisco's 559 buildings earn a 29th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Frisco's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 30th percentile nationally.
Where Frisco's buildings actually sit
Most of Frisco's buildings (93.4%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Frisco ranks
There's little gap between Frisco's 29th national percentile and its 37th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Frisco ranks 22,356 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,434 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,265 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Frisco
Frisco's moderate rating (29th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Frisco's 93.4% 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.
