Haverford College, PA
How exposed is Haverford College to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Haverford College at the 15th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 122 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Haverford College at the 15th percentile, close to its 15th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 39.3% of Haverford College's 122 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 60.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Haverford College ranks

Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,704 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Haverford College
At the 15th national percentile, Haverford College rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Haverford College's 60.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Haverford College's 15th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Haverford College, see the exposure-zones guide.
