Munhall, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Moderate
25thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Munhall at the 25th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 4,946 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Munhall at the 25th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Munhall's building exposure, zone by zone

4,946Total buildings
3.7%Direct exposure
0.7%Indirect exposure
95.7%Minimal exposure

USFS classifies 95.7% of Munhall's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 3.7% Direct and 0.7% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.

Munhall against the rest of the country

Munhall scores 25th nationally and 28th 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, Munhall ranks 23,809 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,463 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,425 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.

Munhall and the insurance market

Munhall's moderate rating (25th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.

What would actually reduce this score

With 95.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Munhall 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

Munhall's 25th-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 Munhall, see the exposure-zones guide.
