Inkerman, PA
Inkerman, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Inkerman at the 31st national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 793 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Inkerman at the 31st percentile, close to its 31st-percentile risk score.
Inkerman's building exposure, zone by zone
Inkerman rates 90.7% Minimal exposure against just 9.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 793 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Inkerman against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Inkerman's 31st national percentile and its 41st percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Inkerman ranks 21,631 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,705 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,169 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Inkerman and the insurance market
Inkerman'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 Inkerman
With 90.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Inkerman gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
