Grampian, PA
Grampian, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Grampian sits at the 50th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 229 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Grampian's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 51st percentile nationally.
Grampian's building exposure, zone by zone
229 buildings are counted in Grampian, and 56.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 43.7% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Grampian compares
Compare Grampian's two percentiles: 82nd within Pennsylvania, only 50th nationally — a gap of 32 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Grampian ranks 15,735 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,835 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 361 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Grampian and the insurance market
At the 50th national percentile, Grampian rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Grampian's 56.3% 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.
Where Grampian's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Grampian's 15,735-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Grampian's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
