Industry (Beaver), PA
Industry (Beaver) wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Industry (Beaver) at the 38th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,304 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Industry (Beaver)'s burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 39th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Industry (Beaver)'s 1,304 counted buildings, 59.5% carry Direct exposure and only 0.4% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Industry (Beaver) against the rest of the country
Industry (Beaver)'s 58th-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 38th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Industry (Beaver) ranks 19,457 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,064 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 831 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Industry (Beaver) and the insurance market
Industry (Beaver)'s moderate wildfire rating (38th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Industry (Beaver) (59.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Industry (Beaver)'s 38th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Industry (Beaver), see the exposure-zones guide.
