Ramey, PA
Ramey wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Ramey lands at the 55th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 341 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Ramey's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 56th percentile nationally.
Ramey's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Ramey's 341 counted buildings, 61.9% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Ramey against the rest of the country
Ramey's 91st-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 55th 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, Ramey ranks 14,068 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,562 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 172 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Ramey and the insurance market
At the 55th national percentile, Ramey rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Ramey
Because Direct exposure dominates in Ramey (61.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
