Mount Eagle, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Mount Eagle's 73 buildings earn a 57th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Mount Eagle at the 55th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Mount Eagle's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 100% of Mount Eagle's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 73 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 100% of Mount Eagle in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
