S.N.P.J., PA
S.N.P.J., PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
S.N.P.J. sits at the 30th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 120 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts S.N.P.J. at the 29th percentile, close to its 30th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of S.N.P.J.'s 120 counted buildings, 93.3% 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.
S.N.P.J. against the rest of the country
S.N.P.J. scores 30th nationally and 37th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, S.N.P.J. ranks 22,235 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,167 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,253 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 30th national percentile, S.N.P.J. 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 93.3% of S.N.P.J. 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
S.N.P.J.'s 30th-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 S.N.P.J., see the exposure-zones guide.
