Llewellyn, PA
How exposed is Llewellyn to wildfire?
Llewellyn sits at the 49th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 118 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Llewellyn at the 48th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Llewellyn's buildings actually sit
Most of Llewellyn's buildings (92.4%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Llewellyn ranks
Within Pennsylvania, Llewellyn ranks higher (79th percentile) than it does nationally (49th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Llewellyn ranks 16,242 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,271 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 416 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 49th national percentile, Llewellyn rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Llewellyn
Because 92.4% of Llewellyn's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
