Harrisville, PA
How exposed is Harrisville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Harrisville lands at the 38th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 548 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Harrisville at the 38th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 59.7% of Harrisville's 548 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 40.3% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Harrisville ranks
Harrisville's 56th-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 38th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Harrisville ranks 19,676 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,607 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 875 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Harrisville
Harrisville's moderate rating (38th 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
Because 59.7% of Harrisville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
