Lincoln University, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Lincoln University at the 11th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 71 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 Lincoln University at the 11th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
Where Lincoln University's buildings actually sit
Only 23.9% of Lincoln University's 71 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 76.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Lincoln University compares
Lincoln University scores 11th nationally and 9th 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, Lincoln University ranks 28,124 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,260 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,813 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Lincoln University and the insurance market
Lincoln University's low wildfire rating (11th 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 Lincoln University
Lincoln University's 76.1% 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.
