Lenhartsville, PA
How exposed is Lenhartsville to wildfire?
Lenhartsville sits at the 34th 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 104 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lenhartsville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 32nd percentile nationally.
Lenhartsville's building exposure, zone by zone
72.1% of Lenhartsville's 104 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 27.9% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Lenhartsville compares
Lenhartsville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (47th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (34th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way.

Lenhartsville and the insurance market
At the 34th national percentile, Lenhartsville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Lenhartsville (72.1% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
