Schnecksville, PA
Schnecksville wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Schnecksville lands at the 30th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,296 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Schnecksville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 29th percentile nationally.
Where Schnecksville's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Schnecksville (58% of 1,296 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 40.5% sit in the Direct zone.
Schnecksville against the rest of the country
Schnecksville scores 30th nationally and 37th within Pennsylvania — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives.

Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,252 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Schnecksville
At the 30th national percentile, Schnecksville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Schnecksville (58% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Schnecksville'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 indirect exposure implies beyond Schnecksville, see the exposure-zones guide.
