Reinholds, PA
Reinholds wildfire risk explained
Reinholds's 669 buildings earn a 17th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Reinholds at the 16th percentile, close to its 17th-percentile risk score.
Where Reinholds's buildings actually sit
669 buildings are counted in Reinholds, and 59.5% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Reinholds compares
There's little gap between Reinholds's 17th national percentile and its 18th percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Reinholds ranks 26,107 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,977 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,636 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Reinholds
Reinholds's low rating (17th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 59.5% of Reinholds in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Reinholds's 17th-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 Reinholds, see the exposure-zones guide.
