New Stanton, PA
New Stanton, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
New Stanton sits at the 34th 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 1,033 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (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 Stanton at the 35th percentile, close to its 34th-percentile risk score.
New Stanton's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of New Stanton's buildings (68.7%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
New Stanton against the rest of the country
New Stanton scores 34th nationally and 47th 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 Stanton ranks 20,908 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,707 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,067 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in New Stanton
New Stanton's moderate wildfire rating (34th 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 Stanton
Because 68.7% of New Stanton'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.
