Lawrence Park, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Moderate
25thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Lawrence Park at the 25th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 2,032 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lawrence Park at the 26th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

What would actually reduce this score

Lawrence Park's 96.1% 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.
