Green Lane, PA
Green Lane wildfire risk explained
Green Lane's 247 buildings earn a 18th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Green Lane's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
Green Lane's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Green Lane's buildings (63.6%) 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 Green Lane ranks
Green Lane scores 18th nationally and 19th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Green Lane ranks 25,730 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,248 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,604 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Green Lane
Green Lane's low rating (18th 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 ember exposure the dominant pattern in Green Lane (63.6% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Green Lane's 18th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Green Lane, see the exposure-zones guide.
