Riverview Park, PA
Riverview Park, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Riverview Park lands at the 20th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,306 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Riverview Park at the 21st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
66.9% of Riverview Park's 1,306 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 33.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Riverview Park compares
There's little gap between Riverview Park's 20th national percentile and its 22nd percentile inside Pennsylvania, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Riverview Park ranks 25,133 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,052 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,554 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Riverview Park and the insurance market
At the 20th national percentile, Riverview Park rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 66.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Riverview Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Riverview Park's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Riverview Park's 25,133-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide.
