Mainville, PA
Mainville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Mainville at the 49th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 109 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mainville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 48th percentile nationally.
Mainville's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Mainville's 109 counted buildings, 87.2% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Mainville compares

Mainville and the insurance market
Mainville's elevated rating (49th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Mainville
With 87.2% of Mainville in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Mainville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Mainville's 16,148-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Mainville's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
