Grantley, PA
Grantley wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Grantley at the 7th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 1,184 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Grantley's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 7th percentile nationally.
Where Grantley's buildings actually sit
Only 40.2% of Grantley's 1,184 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 59.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Grantley ranks
There's little gap between Grantley's 7th national percentile and its 4th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Grantley ranks 29,264 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,744 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,905 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Grantley and the insurance market
Grantley's low rating (7th 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
With 59.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Grantley gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Grantley's figures come from
Grantley's 7th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Grantley's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
