Marysville, PA
How exposed is Marysville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Marysville lands at the 49th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,227 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Marysville at the 47th percentile, close to its 49th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
1,227 buildings are counted in Marysville, and 74.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 25.1% in Direct exposure or the 0.6% rated Minimal.
Marysville against the rest of the country
Marysville's 80th-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 49th 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, Marysville ranks 16,115 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,489 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 402 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
Marysville'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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 74.3% of Marysville'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.
More on how this number was built
Marysville's 49th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Marysville, see the exposure-zones guide.
