New Eagle, PA
New Eagle, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, New Eagle lands at the 29th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,219 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 New Eagle at the 31st percentile, close to its 29th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
85.6% of New Eagle's 1,219 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 14.3% Direct and 0.1% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
New Eagle against the rest of the country
New Eagle scores 29th nationally and 36th 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, New Eagle ranks 22,360 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,540 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,269 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
New Eagle and the insurance market
New Eagle's moderate wildfire rating (29th 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 New Eagle
Because 85.6% of New Eagle'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.
Where New Eagle's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind New Eagle's 22,360-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what New Eagle's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
