Muhlenberg Park, PA
Muhlenberg Park, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Muhlenberg Park lands at the 12th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 687 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 Muhlenberg Park at the 14th percentile, close to its 12th-percentile risk score.
Where Muhlenberg Park's buildings actually sit
Most of Muhlenberg Park's buildings (72.6% of 687) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Muhlenberg Park ranks
Muhlenberg Park scores 12th nationally and 11th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Muhlenberg Park ranks 27,685 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,800 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,780 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Muhlenberg Park and the insurance market
Muhlenberg Park's low wildfire rating (12th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 72.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Muhlenberg Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Muhlenberg Park's 12th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Muhlenberg Park, see the exposure-zones guide.
