Hulmeville, PA
Hulmeville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Hulmeville lands at the 31st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 430 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hulmeville at the 32nd percentile, close to its 31st-percentile risk score.
Where Hulmeville's buildings actually sit
Hulmeville rates 64.2% Minimal exposure against just 35.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 430 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Hulmeville against the rest of the country
Hulmeville scores 31st nationally and 39th 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, Hulmeville ranks 21,880 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,658 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,207 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Hulmeville and the insurance market
Hulmeville's moderate rating (31st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Hulmeville
Hulmeville's 64.2% 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.
