Hampton, PA
Hampton, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hampton's 658 buildings earn a 5th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hampton at the 6th percentile, close to its 5th-percentile risk score.
Hampton's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Hampton: 36.3% of its 658 buildings, versus 35.6% Indirect and 28.1% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Hampton ranks
Hampton's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (3rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (5th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hampton ranks 29,830 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,091 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,939 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Hampton's low wildfire rating (5th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 36.3% of Hampton in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
