Where Pine Run ranks
Pine Run scores 31st nationally and 41st 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, Pine Run ranks 21,697 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,895 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,174 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Pine Run and the insurance market
Pine Run's moderate rating (31st 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 Pine Run
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Pine Run (59.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
