Monroeville, PA
How exposed is Monroeville to wildfire?
USFS scores Monroeville at the 27th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 10,744 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Monroeville at the 28th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Monroeville's buildings actually sit
10,744 buildings are counted in Monroeville, and 69.4% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 20.9% in Direct exposure or the 9.7% rated Minimal. At 10,744 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Monroeville against the rest of the country
Monroeville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (33rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (27th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Monroeville ranks 22,956 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,475 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,339 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
Monroeville's moderate wildfire rating (27th 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.
Hardening a home in Monroeville
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Monroeville (69.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
