Park Place, PA
Park Place, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Park Place at the 59th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 94 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Park Place at the 57th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Park Place's buildings actually sit
100% of Park Place's 94 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 94 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Park Place compares

Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 103 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Park Place and the insurance market
Park Place's elevated wildfire rating (59th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Park Place's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
