New Holland, PA
How exposed is New Holland to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts New Holland at the 2nd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 2,063 actual buildings. (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 Holland at the 3rd percentile, close to its 2nd-percentile risk score.
New Holland's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of New Holland's buildings (84.8% of 2,063) 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 New Holland ranks
There's little gap between New Holland's 2nd national percentile and its 1st percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, New Holland ranks 30,778 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,305 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,982 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
New Holland and the insurance market
New Holland's low wildfire rating (2nd 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 84.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, New Holland gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where New Holland's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind New Holland's 30,778-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what New Holland's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
