Sadsburyville, PA
Sadsburyville, PA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Sadsburyville lands at the 13th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 290 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Sadsburyville at the 11th percentile, close to its 13th-percentile risk score.
Sadsburyville's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Sadsburyville's buildings (65.5%) 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.
Where Sadsburyville ranks
Sadsburyville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (12th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (13th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Sadsburyville ranks 27,493 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,920 by building count (1 is largest). Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,763 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Sadsburyville
Sadsburyville's low rating (13th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 65.5% of Sadsburyville'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
Sadsburyville's 13th-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 Sadsburyville, see the exposure-zones guide.
