Lynnwood-Pricedale, PA
Lynnwood-Pricedale, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lynnwood-Pricedale's 1,352 buildings earn a 28th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lynnwood-Pricedale at the 30th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
93.3% of Lynnwood-Pricedale's 1,352 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 6.7% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Lynnwood-Pricedale compares

What this risk score means for insurance
At the 28th national percentile, Lynnwood-Pricedale rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Lynnwood-Pricedale's 93.3% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
