Kreamer, PA
Kreamer, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Kreamer sits at the 35th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 501 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Kreamer at the 34th percentile, close to its 35th-percentile risk score.
Kreamer's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 67.9% of Kreamer's 501 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 32.1% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Kreamer compares
Kreamer's 51st-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 35th 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, Kreamer ranks 20,370 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,344 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 978 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Kreamer and the insurance market
At the 35th national percentile, Kreamer rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Kreamer
Kreamer's 67.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
