Hiller, PA
Hiller, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hiller sits at the 33rd 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 844 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hiller's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 35th percentile nationally.
Hiller's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Hiller (71% of 844 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 29% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Hiller ranks
There's little gap between Hiller's 33rd national percentile and its 44th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hiller ranks 21,190 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,216 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,110 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hiller
At the 33rd national percentile, Hiller rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Hiller
Because 71% of Hiller'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.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Hiller's 21,190-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Hiller, see the exposure-zones guide.
