Reynoldsville, PA
Reynoldsville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Reynoldsville at the 42nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,358 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Reynoldsville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 43rd percentile nationally.
Where Reynoldsville's buildings actually sit
Most of Reynoldsville's buildings (85.6%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Reynoldsville against the rest of the country
Within Pennsylvania, Reynoldsville ranks higher (67th percentile) than it does nationally (42nd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Reynoldsville ranks 18,321 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,796 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 668 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Reynoldsville and the insurance market
At the 42nd national percentile, Reynoldsville 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 Reynoldsville
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Reynoldsville (85.6% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
