New Galilee, PA
New Galilee, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
New Galilee sits at the 38th 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 262 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, New Galilee's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 38th percentile nationally.
Where New Galilee's buildings actually sit
262 buildings are counted in New Galilee, and 59.5% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 40.5% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.

Shopping for coverage in New Galilee
At the 38th national percentile, New Galilee rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
New Galilee's 59.5% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
