Landisville, PA
Landisville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Landisville at the 3rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 1,060 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Landisville at the 3rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 70.9% of Landisville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 29.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Landisville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Landisville's 3rd national percentile and its 1st percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Landisville ranks 30,652 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,526 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,978 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Landisville
At the 3rd national percentile, Landisville 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
Even with 70.9% of Landisville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Landisville's 3rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Landisville, see the exposure-zones guide.
