Millersville, PA
How exposed is Millersville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Millersville lands at the 6th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 2,075 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Millersville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 5th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 75.1% of Millersville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 24.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Millersville against the rest of the country
Millersville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (3rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (6th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Millersville ranks 29,797 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,271 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,936 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 6th national percentile, Millersville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Millersville
With 75.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Millersville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
