Lemoyne wildfire risk explained

Low
14thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Lemoyne at the 14th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 2,004 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lemoyne at the 15th percentile, close to its 14th-percentile risk score.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

2,004Total buildings
3.8%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
96.2%Minimal exposure

Only 3.8% of Lemoyne's 2,004 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 96.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.

How Lemoyne compares

Lemoyne scores 14th nationally and 13th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lemoyne ranks 27,053 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,467 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,723 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Lemoyne

At the 14th national percentile, Lemoyne rates low 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 Lemoyne

Lemoyne's 96.2% 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.

More on how this number was built

Lemoyne's 14th-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 Lemoyne, see the exposure-zones guide.
