Levittown, PA
Levittown, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Levittown lands at the 41st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 18,042 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Levittown at the 42nd percentile, close to its 41st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Levittown rates 94.3% Minimal exposure against just 5.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 18,042 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 18,042 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Levittown against the rest of the country
Compare Levittown's two percentiles: 65th within Pennsylvania, only 41st nationally — a gap of 24 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Levittown ranks 18,510 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 796 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 692 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Levittown
Levittown's elevated wildfire rating (41st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Levittown
Even with 94.3% of Levittown 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.
Where Levittown's figures come from
Levittown's 41st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Levittown's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
