Kenmar, PA
How exposed is Kenmar to wildfire?
Kenmar's 1,793 buildings earn a 36th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Kenmar at the 37th percentile, close to its 36th-percentile risk score.
Kenmar's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Kenmar (78.9% of 1,793 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 21.1% sit in the Direct zone.
How Kenmar compares
Within Pennsylvania, Kenmar ranks higher (52nd percentile) than it does nationally (36th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Kenmar ranks 20,275 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,092 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 965 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Kenmar
Kenmar's moderate rating (36th 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
Because 78.9% of Kenmar's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
