Muncy, PA
Muncy wildfire risk explained
Muncy sits at the 24th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,215 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Muncy's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 25th percentile nationally.
Where Muncy's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 73% of Muncy's 1,215 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 16% Direct and 11% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Muncy ranks
There's little gap between Muncy's 24th national percentile and its 28th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Muncy ranks 23,932 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,563 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,436 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Muncy
Muncy's moderate rating (24th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Muncy
Because 73% of Muncy'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.
