King of Prussia, PA
How exposed is King of Prussia to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, King of Prussia lands at the 11th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 5,967 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, King of Prussia's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 11th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
King of Prussia rates 87.1% Minimal exposure against just 12.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 5,967 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 5,967 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where King of Prussia ranks

King of Prussia and the insurance market
At the 11th national percentile, King of Prussia rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
King of Prussia's 87.1% 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.
