Renovo, PA
Renovo, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Renovo at the 60th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 449 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Renovo at the 58th percentile, close to its 60th-percentile risk score.
Renovo's building exposure, zone by zone
83.3% of Renovo's 449 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 16.7% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Renovo ranks
Renovo's 96th-percentile standing inside Pennsylvania outpaces its 60th 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, Renovo ranks 12,710 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,304 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 82 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Renovo
Renovo's elevated wildfire rating (60th 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.
Hardening a home in Renovo
Because 83.3% of Renovo's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Renovo's 60th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Renovo, see the exposure-zones guide.
