Geneva, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Geneva's 89 buildings earn a 47th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Geneva at the 46th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Geneva's building exposure, zone by zone
86.5% of Geneva's 89 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 77 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 13.5% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Geneva against the rest of the country
Compare Geneva's two percentiles: 76th within Pennsylvania, only 47th nationally — a gap of 29 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Geneva ranks 16,774 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,550 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 487 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Geneva and the insurance market
At the 47th national percentile, Geneva rates elevated 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
Geneva's 86.5% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Geneva's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Geneva's 16,774-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Geneva's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
