Lewis Run, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lewis Run sits at the 9th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 442 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lewis Run at the 9th percentile, close to its 9th-percentile risk score.
Where Lewis Run's buildings actually sit
