Mifflin, PA
How exposed is Mifflin to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Mifflin lands at the 39th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 237 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 Mifflin at the 38th percentile, close to its 39th-percentile risk score.
Where Mifflin's buildings actually sit
237 buildings are counted in Mifflin, and 95.8% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 4.2% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Mifflin compares
Within Pennsylvania, Mifflin ranks higher (59th percentile) than it does nationally (39th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mifflin ranks 19,358 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,571 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 808 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 39th national percentile, Mifflin 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
Because 95.8% of Mifflin'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.
