Lewisburg, PA
How exposed is Lewisburg to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Lewisburg lands at the 10th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,258 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 Lewisburg at the 11th percentile, close to its 10th-percentile risk score.
Where Lewisburg's buildings actually sit
Only 6% of Lewisburg's 1,258 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 94% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Lewisburg against the rest of the country
Lewisburg's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (8th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (10th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lewisburg ranks 28,412 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,308 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,829 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lewisburg
Lewisburg's low rating (10th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Lewisburg's 94% 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
Lewisburg's 10th-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 Lewisburg, see the exposure-zones guide.
