Hollidaysburg, PA
Hollidaysburg, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Hollidaysburg at the 32nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 2,343 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hollidaysburg at the 32nd percentile, close to its 32nd-percentile risk score.
Hollidaysburg's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 96.8% of Hollidaysburg's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 3.1% Direct and 0.2% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Hollidaysburg ranks
There's little gap between Hollidaysburg's 32nd national percentile and its 42nd percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hollidaysburg ranks 21,599 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,620 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,166 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hollidaysburg
Hollidaysburg's moderate rating (32nd 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
With 96.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Hollidaysburg gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
