Hayti, PA
How exposed is Hayti to wildfire?
Hayti sits at the 12th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,076 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hayti at the 11th percentile, close to its 12th-percentile risk score.
Where Hayti's buildings actually sit
Of Hayti's 1,076 counted buildings, 58.9% carry Direct exposure and only 41.1% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Hayti ranks
Hayti scores 12th nationally and 11th 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, Hayti ranks 27,619 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,424 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,776 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Hayti and the insurance market
At the 12th national percentile, Hayti rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Hayti's 58.9% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Hayti's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Hayti's 27,619-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Hayti's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
