Numidia, PA
Numidia, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Numidia sits at the 37th 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 239 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Numidia's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 35th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Numidia's 239 counted buildings, 77% carry Direct exposure and only 11.3% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Numidia ranks
Compare Numidia's two percentiles: 54th within Pennsylvania, only 37th nationally — a gap of 17 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Numidia ranks 19,992 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,507 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 918 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Numidia
Numidia's moderate wildfire rating (37th 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 Numidia
Because Direct exposure dominates in Numidia (77%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Numidia's 37th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Numidia, see the exposure-zones guide.
