North Apollo, PA
North Apollo wildfire risk explained
North Apollo's 741 buildings earn a 34th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, North Apollo's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 35th percentile nationally.
North Apollo's building exposure, zone by zone
83.7% of North Apollo's 741 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 16.3% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
North Apollo against the rest of the country
There's little gap between North Apollo's 34th national percentile and its 48th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, North Apollo ranks 20,688 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,214 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,032 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
North Apollo's moderate rating (34th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in North Apollo
Because 83.7% of North Apollo'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.
More on how this number was built
North Apollo's 34th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond North Apollo, see the exposure-zones guide.
