Honey Brook, PA
Honey Brook, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Honey Brook's 656 buildings earn a 8th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Honey Brook at the 8th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Honey Brook's buildings actually sit
Only 23% of Honey Brook's 656 buildings carry Direct exposure and 28.7% carry Indirect; the remaining 48.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Honey Brook compares
Honey Brook's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (5th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (8th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way.

Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,887 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Honey Brook
Honey Brook's low rating (8th 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
Honey Brook's 48.3% 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.
Where Honey Brook's figures come from
Honey Brook's 8th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Honey Brook's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
