Haysville, PA
Haysville wildfire risk explained
Haysville sits at the 30th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 62 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Haysville at the 30th 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
Direct exposure dominates in Haysville: 56.5% of its 62 buildings, versus 22.6% Indirect and 21% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Haysville compares
Haysville scores 30th nationally and 38th 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, Haysville ranks 22,106 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,596 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,236 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Haysville and the insurance market
Haysville's moderate wildfire rating (30th 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 56.5% of Haysville 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.
