Nuremberg, PA
How exposed is Nuremberg to wildfire?
Nuremberg's 270 buildings earn a 63rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Nuremberg at the 60th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Nuremberg's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Nuremberg's buildings (55.2%) 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.
Where Nuremberg ranks
Nuremberg's 98th-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 63rd national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Nuremberg ranks 11,828 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,518 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 40 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Nuremberg
Nuremberg's 63rd-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Nuremberg (55.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
