Mansfield, PA
How exposed is Mansfield to wildfire?
Mansfield's 1,000 buildings earn a 50th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mansfield's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 51st percentile nationally.
Mansfield's building exposure, zone by zone
1,000 buildings are counted in Mansfield, and 60.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 38.9% in Direct exposure or the 0.4% rated Minimal.
Mansfield against the rest of the country
Mansfield's 81st-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 50th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mansfield ranks 15,929 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,937 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 382 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Mansfield
Mansfield's elevated wildfire rating (50th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 60.7% of Mansfield'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.
Where Mansfield's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Mansfield's 15,929-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Mansfield's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
